In 603, he established the twelve official ranks at court. He is credited with promulgating a Seventeen-article constitution, although contemporary scholars question the attribution based on its style.The Prince was a proponent of Buddhism and composed commentaries on the Sutra. He also commissioned the Shitenno-ji Temple in Settsu province (present-day Osaka). Shotoku's name has been linked with Horyu-ji in Yamato province. Documentation at Horyu-ji, in fact, claim Suiko and Shotoku as founders during the year 607. Archaeological excavations in 1939 have confirmed that Prince Shotoku's palace, the Ikaruga-no-miya, occupied the eastern part of the current temple complex, where the To-in sits today.Although Shotoku admired China from afar, China seems to have taken the initiative in opening relations with Japan. Sui Emperor, Yangdi (kensui taishi) dispatched a message in 605 which said:  "The sovereign of Sui respectfully inquires about the sovereign of Wa."Shotoku responded by sponsoring a mission led by Ono no Imoko in 607. The Prince's own message contains the earliest written instance in which the Japanese archipelago is named "Nihon," literally, sun-origin. The salutation said:  "From the sovereign of the land of the rising sun (nihon/hi izuru) to the sovereign of the land of the setting sun."
