Shotoku was a prince who looked to China as example of what to do

Look at the map and you will find the reason is quite simple.
It was made about 2000 BC in China or Japan ( depending on the source you look up). Swords grew from the dagger.

China believes in Confucius ideaology... which is simply the belief of respecting your elders, and in return your elders will watch out for you, and look after you... Japan liked this idea of China.. and adapted it... Confucious ideology being a cultural factor hashad several influences on Japan for Example the Imperialism of Korea was mainly for cultural motives:confucious ideology. As Japan believed as being elder, and believed they were to be respceted by Korea, in fact they made this happen, but at the same time... "looked after' Korea.. as they believed and instituted Japanese education etc....... the Chinese writing system.
Prince Shotoku wanted to create a strong government and he looked to China on an example of what to do. You know that in China, a powerful emperor ruled with the help of trained officials chosen for there abilities. To reach this goal for Japan, Shotoku created a constitution or a plan of government. Shotoku's constitution gave all power to the emperor, who had to obeyed by the Japanese people. He also created a Bureaucracy and gave the emperor the power to appoint all the officials.

People confuse Japan and China because they are both Oriental countries. The people look very similar and the languages sound alike to those who do not know them.
No, If you look at the Back of your iPad you will see "Assembled in China'.
Actually, the answer to this is that in terms of GDP per capita, Japan is richer. However, if you look at the GDP figures of the two countries, China has a larger value, though in terms of richness Japan is richer because its per capita is larger than China!
Sushi is originally from the Mekong river area, and then it spread to China, and THEN to Japan. Originally, fish was packed with rice as a way to ferment/preserve it, and it didn't look anything like our modern conception of sushi.
no the Japanese and Chinese may look the same but they don't have the same government.
