Explanation and Etymology - (法律) houritsu
The Japanese word "法律" (hou ritsu) is composed of two Kanji: "法" means "law" or "rule", while "律" means "order" or "discipline". Together, they form the term that refers to the set of laws and regulations that govern Japanese society. The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when the Chinese legal system was adopted in Japan. Since then, the Japanese legal system has evolved and adapted to the country's social and political changes. Currently, Japanese law is based on a mixture of civil law and common law, with influences from the German and American legal systems.How to Write in Japanese - (法律) houritsu
