About the Book

Considerable quantities of decrees were issued in Japan after the implementation of the administrative and penal codes in 702. Parts of these decrees were officially compiled in 820, 869 and 907, and these three compilations were recast in the eleventh century under the title " Methodically Arranged Decrees of Three Eras," Ruiju sandai kyaku. The texts were arranged categorically: religious worship, administration, taxation, defense, suppression of crimes, etc. Although the three earlier compilations are no longer extent, the more than one thousand decrees of the later compilation have been preserved, supplying rich material on the management of administrative personnel and the difficulties of applying a complex fiscal system.
