Abstract
The transplantation of legal rules from one country to another is commonly observed around the world. Legal transplants' can range from the wholesale adoption of entire systems of law to the copying of a single rule. Japanese law, particularly the legal rules governing economic organization, is a prime example of the transplant phenomenon, both in its systemic and single-rule variations. Japan imported its original Commercial Code (including legal rules on business corporations) from Germany in 1898 as part of a fundamental reform of its legal system, and made large-scale amendments to the corporate law in the immediate post-war period by importing many specific legal rules from the United States.
