Sagara Clan Law - Sagara Shihat

Japanese: 相良氏法度 - さがらしはっと
Sagara Clan Law - Sagara Shihat
These are the provincial laws of the Sagara clan, a feudal lord who ruled over the three counties of Kuma, Ashikita, and Yatsushiro in Higo Province during the Sengoku period. They consist of the Tameshige Law (7 articles) dated April 22, 1493 (Meio 2), the Nagamai Law (13 articles) whose date of enactment is unknown, and the Haruhiro Law (22 articles) dated February 7, 1555 (Koji 1), the validity of which was reaffirmed by Haruhiro in May 1549 (Tenbun 18). The laws of the Sagara clan during this period were either enacted by the Sagara clan itself or drafted by the Gunchuso, an alliance of small feudal lords from each of the three counties under the Sagara clan's control, with the approval of their master, the Sagara clan. It is assumed that the Haruhiro Law belongs to the former category, and the Tameshige and Nagamai Laws to the latter.

Japanese:
戦国時代,肥後国球磨,葦北,八代の3郡を領した大名相良氏の分国法。1493年(明応2)4月22日付の為続法度(7ヵ条),制定年月不明の長毎法度(13ヵ条)と1555年(弘治1)2月7日付晴広法度(22ヵ条)からなり,前2者は1549年(天文18)5月に晴広によりその効力を再保証された。この時期の相良氏の法は,相良氏によって制定されるものと,相良氏の支配領域の3郡それぞれの小領主たちによって結ばれた郡中惣によって起草され,彼らの主人相良氏の承認によって制定されるものとがあったが,晴広法度は前者,為続・長毎法度は後者に属するものと想定される。
