HISTORY STATE AND RIGHTS OF JAPAN

Abstract

The article examines the history of the state and law of the Japanese state. Historical facts indicate that the art, literature and worldview of Japan are extremely diverse and were formed from elements of different periods, mixing with the cultural heritage of other neighboring countries, primarily Ancient China, over several centuries. It has developed and grown over a long period of time, and today it makes an increasing contribution to world human culture. The disintegration of ancient human society and the transition to a primitive class society and state began in Japan as early as the 3rd century. Property and social inequality arose in society, which led to the emergence of a hereditary aristocracy. However, at the same time, slavery was developing, communal land ownership was stable, and the influence of the feudal-despotic state of neighboring China was great. This was hindered, on the one hand, by the unique geographical position of the country on an island surrounded by oceans, and on the other hand, by the mountainous terrain. Even in early Japanese society, customs and traditions arose that regulated relations within it.
