the japanese people have been
born of the gods and are there
fore divine. The japanese gods
are thus conceived TO be the an
cestors of the japanese race.
which makes the Japanese them
selves gods by descent. and their
land 1.-The land of the gods. y
Since there are no other gods
that the Japanese acknowledge,
or if they do they simply con-
slider them TO be other forms Of
their own Eight hundred myr-
lad gods. these gods are the
highest beings in the japanese
cosmos. This quite naturally
makes their direct descendants
the highest beings on earth -
the master race entitled to rule
the world.
In other words. the Japanese
consider themselves to be a sort
of divine family having its orr
gin in Heaven. AS principle of
state, this concept has such great
utility that it has been assidu-
ously cultivated by the Japanese
government, until it found its
elimination in the japanese fam
lily state. The sense of common
divine descent and blood rela-
tionship has made the Japanese
clannish and seclusive, but it
has also given them a national
cohesion surprising that of any
other nation. 1t is the basis of
that peerless polity' they boast
of, and it is by far their strong
est asset in this war.
Whereas other religions con-
Germ themselves with the super
natural. with the individual,
with the salvation of his soul,
with ethics and morals, and with
the world hereafter, Shinto has
only one concern to promote
the fortunes and the prosperity
of the japanese family state in
this world by any and all means
that will serve the purpose.
This is how the world looks
through Shinto eyes:
Nippon is an extension of
the ideal state in Heaven. So be-
lieved our ancestors, so do we
still believe; and this faith is
the foundation stone of our rae
ial unity" - Shinsei Nippon no

True Basis, by Shinkichi Uye-
