It is a common idea, both among scholars and ordinary people, that the Japanese were originally a light-hearted, pleasure-loving people, who were changed by the advent of Buddhism into a melancholy, fatalistic, pessimistic and indeed morbid nation. If this was so, it was a heavy price to pay for Japanese culture, which is all Buddhistic, in spirit, if not in form. Compare for example the following, the first a wvaka from the book of the Manyo'shu', the second one of the best known of Bash8's haiku, written nine hundred years later
