Before World War II, Japanese legal scholars began studying“East Asian Law,”with Seiichiro Ono as one of the leading figures in this field. From the 1930s to the 1940s, Ono participated in research groups known as the“Workshop for Studying the Legislation of the Republic of China (中華民國法制研究會).”He then researched the criminal codes of the Republic of China and Manchukuo and attempted to reexamine questions of legal transplantation in East Asian nations from the mid-19th century. In addition, through his debate with the historian Sokichi Tsuda, Ono sought to redefine“Toyo (東洋)”and“East Asia (東亞)”and to explore the possibility of reconstructing an ideal type of a unified“Toyo.”Ono also joined the“Workshop for Studying the Jurisprudence of Japan (日本法理研究會)”and advocated a new concept of the East Asian Legal Order. After the War, however, Ono was removed from public office as his ideas about“East Asian Law”during the war were regarded as aggressive imperialism.
This article, therefore, examines Ono’s writings to clarify his concept of“East Asian Law”and to reconsider the meaning of“East Asian Law”studies. |
