Law codes of China, Korea and Japan: the Tang, Ming and Qing codes of imperial China, the Korean state codes of the Joseon dynasty, the legal houses of the Kamakura and Tokugawa shoguns and the old Gojoseon prohibitions. A document belongs here when its cited article describes a dynastic or shogunate law code of East Asia. It excludes the Southeast Asian codes. The group covers codes from the seventh to the nineteenth century, so a modern republican code never belongs here.
