WikiProject Middle Ages To do:

the current article says that the first time we are introduced to shotuko is in 754, however the prince gives his ideas for constitution in the nihon shoki which was completed by 720.

[edit] Clarification please

I removed the following addition from an anonymous user as it is terrible English and made no sense to me:

The name of Shōtoku Taishi is considered it is called in posterity, and Japanese school textbook adopts the name Prince Umayado (厩戸皇子) together or instead^[1] in modern days.

If someone wants to decipher this and re-add it (assuming it's worthwhile), please go ahead.

This is very famous in Japan today. As the link, school text book is using the name Prince Umayado(厩戸皇子) instead. And also historical TV programns air this fact/change in Japan very often. I am Japanese and live in Japan now. The Japanese page[1] of this article also describe this. --220.111.68.99 05:12, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christian?

"According to `Japan The Nation of the Cross`, published by Tokuma Shoten there is a widely held view that in fact Prince Shotoku was a Christian immigrant from the Mainland who strongly fought against the secularized buddhist system." Or maybe he's a space alien or one of the reptilian overlords. There's also a link to a Japanese christian website at the bottom of the page. Who puts this stuff in here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.83.200.20 (talk) 06:39, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
