Excerpt from The Civil Code of Japan, Vol. 2: With an Introduction Treating of the Japanese Family System, a Full Index to the Whole Code, and an Appendix Giving the Most Recent Legislation on the Subject

Any one reading the Books of the new Civil Code which deal with Kindred and Succession will notice that in Japan it is the family, and not, as with us, the individual, which is the unit of society. A short sketch, therefore, of the family system in its essential features may not be out of place, in Spite of the difficulty of treat: ing in a small compass a subject so wide. In this sketch the system has necessarily been treated as one common to the whole country, but it may be well to point out that until quite recent times matters concerning family law have been governed by local custom, which has varied not only in each province, but often in districts of the same province.
