Features: The Japanese Civil Code contains only 16 provisions regarding torts (Chapter 5, Articles 109 to 724 of Book III), but tort law covers an extremely broad scope of social life. In Japan, tort law is the field of civil law that generates the most issues, fiercest debates, and abundant research achievements. Tort law is a highly productive area in Japanese civil law research. There are many aspects worth learning from, and fundamentally, it is the spirit of continuous innovation in response to the times. The topic of this book is to comprehensively examine the current Japanese tort legal system, which is a general study. The book elaborates on the development process of tort law cases and doctrines in the Japanese Civil Code since its enactment, especially from the 1960s to the present, in a relatively comprehensive and systematic manner, to provide Chinese readers with a holistic and dynamic understanding of Japanese tort law. The author hopes that the publication of this book will help the Chinese civil law community better understand Japanese tort law and learn from its experiences and lessons, drawing valuable insights.
