See all formats and editions
Summarizes scholarship on the 13 centuries of legal tradition in Japan onto which was grafted the French, German, and Anglo- American influences to form modern Japanese law. For periods beginning with prehistory, the Taika reforms, the establishment of military rule, and the founding of the Tokugawa dynasty, describes the political and administrative framework, and how the law impacted such aspects of life as property and transactions, inheritance, relations between classes, labor, the lot of women and juniors, and of course crime and punishment. A second printing incorporates corrections. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
