Sincerity is the foundation

Sincerity, labour, proportionality and consignment
were the four principles of the "Hōtoku Thought" conceived by Ninomiya Takanori in the late Edo period. It was based on the teachings of Shintoism, Confucianism and Buddhism.
People influenced by this thought were;
Matsushita Kōnosuke - Founder of Panasonic
Toyoda Sakichi - Founder of Toyota Motor Corporation
etc.
