Features: This book is centered around the new major revision of the Japanese Civil Code and is composed of the following three parts. The first part, titled "Code Compilation," contains the translation of the newly revised Japanese Civil Code after the 2004 major amendment. The second part, titled "Materials Compilation," includes various materials related to this revision, such as translations of official documents and compiled materials by the editor. The third part, titled "Interpretation Compilation," features historical interpretations of the Japanese Civil Code since its establishment, written based on the editor's long-term study and research. The book is titled New Japanese Civil Code for the following reasons. First, the significance of "new" lies in: , the provisions of the Japanese Civil Code included in this book are the newest version at the time of publication; second, it is planned to update the book annually based on changes in the Japanese Civil Code and related legislation to maintain the "new" content and retain this name. Second, the use of "Civil Code" instead of "Civil Code Law" in the title means: , in addition to the translated provisions of the Civil Code, the book also includes "Materials" and "Interpretation" sections; second, each future revision will adhere to this format and gradually expand the translations of civil special laws and civil exceptional laws outside the Civil Code.
