Ōmi Code

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ōmi code (近江令) refers to a collection of governing rules compiled in 668, hence being the first collection of Ritsuryo laws in classical Japan. These laws were compiled by Fujiwara Kamatari under the order of Emperor Tenji. This collection of laws is now lost and its disputed existence is supported only by short references in later documents (among which the Toshi Kaden, 藤氏家伝, the history of the Fujiwara). It is furthermore missing from the Nihon Shoki.
