It has been argued how the state should compensate for damages caused by state-run inoculation program. In 1984, the Tokyo District Court handed a ruling in favor of the plaintiff's claims for indemnity by analogically applying Art.29, cl.3 of the Japanese Constitution. In the appellate trial, however, the Tokyo High Court overturned the initial decision and approved the claims of the appellant (plaintiff in the first trial) for damages by applying Art.1, cl.1 of the State Liability Act. In this paper, I will study problems related to 'state compensation' through an analysis of the decision by Tokyo High Court.

English unwritten constitution is a great help to (a) maintenance of old and good tradition and civilization, (b) flexible correspondence to changing social circumstances, (c) stability of legal life by no calling an unconstitutionality in question. On the other hand, in Japan, the problem of amendment to the Japanese Constitution is greatly discussed now. Many drafts of the new constitution appear. But, in my opinion, an unwritten constitution is extremely suitable for the new Japanese constitution, because historically Japan is elder than England. In this thesis, a table of contents is as follows : (1) general idea of an unwritten constitution, (2) sources of law of the English unwritten constitution, (3) merits of the English unwritten constitution, (4) the significance of an unwritten constitution in Japan, (5) sources of law of the Japanese unwritten constitution, (6) a comparative study of Magna Carta in England and the 17 Articles Constitution in Japan, (7) Conclusion.

Most scholars interpret, this "Political Authority" as a "Governmental Power." However, today in Japan, we cannot imagine religious groups will exercise a "Governmental Power" literally. Therefore, this interpretation has only a historical meaning. Recently many problems have been caused by religious groups such as OUM Shinrikyou. Considering the many problems surrounding religious groups, "Political Authority" should be properly interpreted based on such new movements.

This paper which is written at view of International law reviews some issues that conflict between domestic applicability of International Law and Constitutional Order. The issues have been understood in the Confrontation with the Monism or the Dualism. After the World War II, the issues have not consisted only on the Monism or the Dualism but also new theory -the Theory of Coordination. This new theory is supported by many Scholars of International Law today. I think it is noteworthy that the theory offers the key to understanding of the relation between International law order and Domestic law order.

According to the provisions of the Japanese Imperial House Law, the right of succession to the Imperial Throne is limited to men in the male line of the Emperor. On the other hand, the existence of a Queen (Empress) is accepted in all European monarchy at present. Additionally, there were no doubt 8 empresses in Japanese constitutional history. Therefore, in this thesis, I proposed adoption of the English style of the system of succession to the Imperial Throne in Japan.

This essay increases consideration whether 'the theory of the Emperor as an organ of government' is against Kokutai (the national polity, or the fundamental character of the state). The most important point at issue there relates to the subject and contents of the sovereignty. In this essay, I examine theories of Yatsuka Hozumi, Shinkichi Uesugi, Tatsukichi Minobe and Soichi Sasaki. I conclude that the theory of the Emperor as an organ of government is not against Kokutai. The constitution of this essay is as follows : (1) Introduction, (2) Criticism for a national judicial person theory, (3) 'The theory of the Emperor as a subject of the sovereignty' and Kokutai, (4) 'The theory of the Emperor as an organ of government' and Kokutai, (5) Discussion around sovereignty, (6) Conclusion.

In this paper, I study three high courts decisions on the official visiting of the primeminister to the Yasukuni Shrine. I think that there are several problems in these decisions. And so I take up three points : (1) problem of standing to sue on the provision of the separation of religion and politics, (2) whether the religious personarity right is a legal right or interest, (3) what constitutional decision should be.

The curriculum for training care worker has been reconstituted in 2009. The new education program "The Human Dignity and Independence" has been established. It was the considerable case for this writer who is investigating "Human Dignity" in constitutional law. Therefore in this paper I have examined for "Human Dignity" in social welfare from constitutional law point of view. As a consequence, I have concluded that "Human Dignity" is different from "Dignity of the Individual". "Dignity of the Individual" is frequently misleadingly referred as isolated each individual is dignified venerable. Hence though many of laws which related with social welfare define "Dignity of the Individual", however I would like to propose that "Dignity of the Individual" should be amend as "Human Dignity".

Almost all the texts on Japanese constitutional law explain constitutionalism as "the modern constitutionalism" from an age of bourgeois revolution that created politics according to a written constitution, including the protection of human rights and civil liberties. This is the popular view about constitutionalism in Japanese constitutional studies. But, in the history of political thought, constitutionalism has a broader meaning i.e. "limited government" or one of the methods of "controlling the state", traced back to ancient Greece. Therefore, constitutionalism has little to do with the existence of a written constitution. So, In this essay, I will point out several problems that occur when taking about this popular view of constitutionalism within Japanese constitutional studies.

In this article, I have referred to the current state of child abuse in Japan and listed serious problems in solving from the viewpoint of the criminal law. The prevention of child abuse is indispensable to constructing of social systems and it needs multidisciplinary corporation with the other organizations and various occupations like the Multidisciplinary Team. We have to continuously study and share experience that leads to protect child from abusing and prevent child abuse. The childhood sexual abuse is one of child abuses that victims are forced to be imposed a lot of emotional burden and the most of victims has frequently suffered from PTSD. Especially in the case that perpetrators are father by birth or teacher. In such case the victims are forced more difficulties in recovery due to self-reproach. So childhood sexual abuse should be considered this status and take measures to prevent from the viewpoint of the public health. I would like to propose three new provisions for childhood sexual abuse in order to prevent childhood sexual abuse and regain the victim's self-esteem. 【Proposal 1】Make a new provision that the age of object raises from 13 to 14 in case of crimes of rape and forcible indecency. 【Proposal 2】Make a new provision to forbid childhood sexual abuse by a person who is at a certain position like a person being relatives, the one living with a child obliged to care for, or the one obliged to teach or guide.

On the other hand, Japanese government intended to prepare the system that established Imperial financial basis.

An influential theory insists that matters pertaining to family, for example marriage and divorce, are included in the object of the right to self-determination. But, Art. 24, cl. 1 of the Japanese Constitution provides that "Marriage shall be based only on the mutual consent of both sexes and it shall be maintained through mutual cooperation with equal rights of husband and wife as a basis". In this paper, I will study some problems related to guarantee of "freedom to found a family', mainly through an examination of the contents of Art. 24, cl. 1.

1997年3月27日に札幌地方裁判所は, いわゆる「二風谷ダム事件判決」を下した。本稿はこの判決の要旨といくつかのコメントを英文で書いたものである。事件の概要そのものとそれに対するコメントは既にいくつか著されたものがある。ただ, 本稿は, 裁判所として, というより, むしろわが国の国家機関としては初めてアイヌ民族を先住民族として認めた点は他の多くの論評同様評価しつつも, 従来指摘されてこなかった次の3点についてコメントしている。第一は, 札幌地方裁判所が, 国際人権規約B規約27条が少数民族の固有の文化を享有する権利を保障しており, それゆえ, アイヌ民族に対してもそうであるとしつつ, 憲法98条2項を媒介として, 憲法13条においてアイヌ民族固有の文化享有権が保障されていると解釈した点について, そのような権利は13条だけでは導きだし難いのであって, 法の下の平等を定めた憲法14条とのかかわりを考慮する必要があるのではないかという点である。第二は, 主権の変遷と土地権の存在・消滅の関係及びそれとも関わる財産権の性質について再検討する必要があるのではないかという点である。

The purpose of this paper is to consider the relations between the individual and the family in the Japanese Constitution. Article 13 of Japanese Constitution prescribes "the respect as individuals", and Article 24 Paragraph 2 prescribes "the dignity of individual in the family life". Therefore, it is said that the Japanese Constitution expresses a principle of the individualism generally, and besides, adopts the individualism that individuals are always superiority to families, moreover it adopts the radical individualism which breaks up families. However, the author had observed the process of establishment of the Japanese Constitution to interpret the constitutional articles, then arrives at the following conclusion: the Japanese Constitution does not always deny the protection of the family, rather protects the family.

Stepfamilies are increasingly common in Japan. In 2004, about three-fifth of all divorced couples were ones raising minor children, and more than one-fifth of all married couples were remarried ones. This article provides the current state of laws affecting stepfamilies. The review demonstrates that for the most part, stepparents do not have a legally recognized status in relation to their stepchildren. Some suggestions for legal reform will be made.

Today, Normal Constitutional Practice (Kensei no Jodo) is disregarded by almost constitutionalist in Japan. But it was built as Constitutional Convention. It triumphed several ordeals. In fact, a party government was stronger than any other organs. The privy Council, the House of Lords, the bureaucrats and the military authorities that should have veto could not overthrow of the cabinet without help by the Opposition. The strongest veto group was the House of Representatives. Its political resource was power of command by cabinet that includes the Ministry of Finance. The elder statesman Saionji protected the customs. Though it was indicated that parliamentary government was crushed by pressure, the essence is suicide of two major parties, and it disturbed constitutional government in The Empire of Japan.

Since the Judgment of the Supreme Court in 1995, the idea that 'Tolerance Theory' is right and that 'Prohibition Theory' is wrong has been debated continuously. Therefore, this paper explores both views. First of all, I researched 'Prohibition Theory', 'Tolerance Theory', and 'Request Theory'. Next, I questioned the Judgment of the Supreme Court dated Feb. 28, 1995 critically. Finally, I put forward a way to solve the problems of foreigner suffrage in municipalities. In conclusion, I justified why I think 'Prohibition Theory' is appropriate. Therefore, I think the problems with the naturalization of foreigners of permanent residence should be solved by the political consideration such as the amelioration of the condition for naturalization.

Almost analysts consider that Manchurian incident was SINRYAKU (侵略=cruel aggression) of Japan which was caused by Kwantung Army's runaway. There have been few legal studies about Manchurian incident. Japan was blamed because he broke the Nine-Power Treaty, the Kellogg-Briand Pact, and the Convenant of the League. But Japan's act is not injustice in international law. Before Manchurian incident, the Republic of China could not rule Manchuria. The act of Kwantung army is naturally illicit. But eventually, it was evasion. We must analyze Manchurian incident not only by perspective of politics but also by perspective of international and domestic law.
