The average Japanese learns about the gods and draws for his patriotism from Shinto, maxims for his ethical and life from Confucius, and his hope of what he regards as from Buddhism. These three religious systems, as at present constituted, are "book religions." They rest upon ancient Japanese and the modern commentators; upon the Chinese classics; and upon the shastras and sutras with which Gautama, the Buddha, had something to do. In primeval and prehistoric Japan neither these books nor the religions growing out of the books were extant.
