Provisional Penalty Law - karikeiritsu

Japanese: 仮刑律 - かりけいりつ

It is believed that this was the first criminal code compiled by the Meiji government in 1868, shortly after the establishment of the new Meiji government. However, it was not promulgated or implemented nationwide, but was merely a set of internal government guidelines outlining criminal law policy. Its contents are based on the Ritsuryo system and consist of 12 chapters and 124 articles (also counted as 121), and are said to have been influenced by the Taiho Code, Ming Code, Qing Code, the former shogunate's Kojikata Osadamaki, and especially the Higo Domain law Penal Code Sosho.
