The son ofDefeat
In 1568,Sengoku period house codes
During the Sengoku period, Japan's social and legal culture evolved in ways unrelated to the well-known history of serial battles and armed skirmishes. A number of forward-looking daimyos independently promulgated codes of conduct to be applied within a specific han or domain. Few examples of these daimyo-made law codes have survived, but the legal framework contrived by the Rokkaku clan remains amongst the small number of documents which can still be studied: * 1567: Rokkaku Yoshikata issues ''Rokkaku-shi shikimoku''.Katsumata Shizuo ''et al.'' (1981). "The Development of Sengoku Law" in ''Japan Before Tokugawa: Political Consolidation and Economic Growth, 1500 to 1650'', p. 102. * 1567: Rokkaku Yoshiharu, Yoshikata's eldest son, re-issues ''Rokkaku-shi shikimoku''.References
