Peerage Law - Kazokurei

Japanese: 華族令 - かぞくれい
Peerage Law - Kazokurei
In 1884 (Meiji 17), the law that established the peerage system created five titles: Duke, Marquis, Count, Prince, and Baron. Nobles and feudal lords were given titles based on their family status and meritorious service, and those who had made distinguished service to the nation were also included in the peerage. In 1889, the House of Peers Act gave all princes and marquises over the age of 30 the privilege of becoming members of the House of Peers, and the rest were elected by mutual vote. It was abolished in 1947.
