56 A GUIDE TO JAPANESE REFERENCE AND RESEARCH MATERIALS 452. Nakajima Sho q A JA, ed., Shintei zenrin kokuho-ki X- t - F4 C1 t. e (Newly edited Zenrin kokuhoki), Tokyo, Bunkyodo, 1932, 200 pp. The basic text for foreign relations, primarily with China and Korea, of the early Ashikaga period (14th and 15th centuries) prepared by Zuikei ShIho 4 >* (i /.L, a monk of the Sh'kokuji temple in 1466. This text plus several works which continue the work of the monk Shuho are included in volume 21 of the revised Shiseki shuran (Entry 410). 4) Collected Laws The following collections of legal materials deal only with pre-Meiji Japan. Modern collections of laws and ordinances are so numerous and voluminous that they have been omitted from this section. Those who would consult post-Restoration materials of this type are referred to Robert E. Ward's bibliography of political science prepared for this bibliographical series. Of the items listed below, Kimura Sh6ji's Kempo shiryo (Historical materials on administrative law) (Entry 454), Takayanagi and Ishii's Ofuregki kampo shusei (Collection of Tokugawa laws of the Kampo era) (Entry 455), and the Ministry of Justice's Tokugawa kinreiko (Survey of Tokugawa laws) (Entry 456) are most useful. Together they cover the entire space of pre-Restoration administrative law. In the last collection the historian must, unfortunately, be on his guard against corrupted texts. 453. Takigawa Masajir-o? ") 1 p, ed., HIsei shiryo komonjo ruisan t WI * t. -: (Classified collection of documentary materials on the history of law), Tokyo, Yuhikaku, 1927, 707 pp. A select collection of some 460 collections of laws and documents covering the history of Japanese legal development from the eighth through nineteenth centuries. Classification is under four headings: 1) official documents, 2) semi-official documents, i. e., legal documents of feudal lords, estates, and religious institutions, 3) private documents, 4) documents concerning foreign affairs. 454. Kimura Shoji * '-t v- A, Kempo shiry~o. & P. P (Historical materials on administrative law), Tokyo, Shihoshi, 1877, 37 v. A classified collection of legal materials covering Japanese history from ancient times to the seventeenth century. It was compiled for the Ministry of Justice. Classification is under four broad categories:, civil and military law, Shinto affairs, the Buddhist priesthood, agriculture and commerce. Within each category laws are arranged chronologically. An index is appended. This collection takes its place as the basic source for pre-Tokugawa legal systems. It is followed by the Tokugawa kinrei k-d series listed below (Entry 456). 455. Takayanagi Shinzo i ) T A E and Ishii Ryosuke T T f A, Ofuregaki kampo shusei i tV,4- 'A (Collection of Tokugawa laws of the Kampo era), Tokyo, Iwanami Shoten, 1934, 1356 pp. This is a modern collated edition of the first major official collection of Tokugawa laws and injunctions compiled by the Tokugawa Hyojosho (Supreme Court of Justice). The work contains some 3500 laws issued from 1615 to 1743. Laws issued after 1743 were periodically brought together by the Tokugawa government and these have been published by the same editors as follows: Ofuregaki Horeki shusei (covers to 1760) - 1935. Temmei " ( " " 1787) - 1936. Tempo " ( " " 1836) - 1937-41. Together these works provide a definitive coverage of Tokugawa government legislation. The lack of index or convenient classification makes them difficult to use. For this reason the classified collection of Tokugawa laws listed below is of more general service, though not as complete. 456. Shihosh6o f,/ 4 (Ministry of Justice), Tokugawa kinreiko Tt "I t / ~ (Survey of Tokugawa laws), Tokyl, Yoshikawa K6bunkan, 1931-32, 6 v. Second series 1931-32, 6 v. A classified collection of Tokugawa laws compiled by Kikuchi Shunnosuke and first published in the present form in 1894. The 1931-32 edition is a photolithograph version of the earlier printing. The first series consists of general administrative and civil laws. These are classified under broad headings such as court nobles, military houses, temples, shrines, commoners, and foreign affairs, and a number of subheadings. Laws are listed chronologically within each section. This is not an official edition of Tokugawa laws. Many of the texts are corrupt and the coverage is not complete. But it is the most conveniently arranged of such collections. Series II (Tokugawa kinreiko koshu ft 4 ) consists of criminal laws classified by offences. The last volume contains records of trials and sentences. 5) Collected Materials on Social and Economic History Next to the general collections of historical materials listed above, the most valuable to the historian are the great compendia of materials on Japanese social and economic history listed in this section. Undoubtedly, the best known of these works are Honjo Eijiro's Kinsei shakai keizai sosho (Documentary series on modern society and economics) (Entry 458) and Takimoto Seiichi's Nihon keizai taiten (Compendium of Japanese economics) (Entry 460). Both of these collections deal primarily with the Tokugawa period, and their contents complement the more formal documentary collections which deal largely with the affairs of the ruling class. In both these works economics is interpreted in its broadest sense to include almost all aspects of the material life of the people. One problem of the Honjo and Takimoto collections is that they do not contain much primary material. Their volumes are filled largely with treatises by Tokugawa scholars on economic and social problems and secondary materials on agrarian affairs, village administration, mercantile affairs, and other similar matters.
