Answer:

Buddhism

Step-by-step explanation:

Shotoku also helped establish the principles of Buddhism and Confucianism in Japan, and along with Japan's native Shinto religion, these continued to govern Japanese society through the twentieth century. Because of his legendary status, it is hard to separate fact from myth concerning Shotoku's early life.
