The principle of karmic contract

Japanese: 縁約の原理 - えんやくのげんり
The principle of karmic contract

…However, the principle of social cohesion in Japan was strong. Chinese-American anthropologist FLK Hsu (1909-) calls it the “principle of ties.” This is because it has both contractual and blood ties. …

From "Japanese Social Theory"

It is a compromise between the "kinship principle" of the Chinese "original organization" "Tsu" and the "contract principle" of the Western "original organization" club (free association), and refers to a form that combines automatic full participation in a fixed hierarchical order, such as in blood-related groups, and obligatory limited participation in free association. …

*Some of the terminology explanations that refer to the "principle of related contract" are listed below.
