Research summary
Study of the way of how the laws were during the period of transition from medieval to early modern period in Japan Study is conducted for the legal system from the latter part of the medieval period to the early modern period in Japan. The major theme till now was on the law of the war lords, especially on the concept of “In a quarrel, both parties are to blame”. The concept of penalizing both the quarreling parties, whatever the reason may be, became the law in the latter part of the medieval period and is said to have settled as a general norm for the processing of quarrels up to the early modern period. However, in reality, the processing of quarrels during these period were varied and the study has proved that penalizing of both parties as being one of the most well-known of the varied norms. In the future, interest will be widened to cover adjacent regions of legal sociology, dispute settlement studies, and others, to further study the formation and development of penalizing both parties and its significance.
