 note = {Japan has since ancient time deployed the koseki,or registration of the  population by household,as a tool for grasping the people.The matter of whether or not a state power deploys household registration as a means to manage the population is a question of culture.Through the unit of the family,or ie,the 1871 Koseki Law grasped the entire nation(kokumin),and thus made the koseki document proof of citizenship.Two task were central for the early Meiji state　－to return the dasseki-sha to their registers and prevent more people from leaving their registers.I suggest that these developments constitute the‘modernization’of the koseki.

   Continuing the tradition of the early modern shūmon aratamechō,the compilation method of the jinshin koseki was based on the‘principle of actual residence’as it sought to reflect actual circumstances.It was difficult,however,to grasp the‘kokumin’by the‘principle of actual residence’in a society where the capitalist economy was spreading and where the individual’s
right to freely move and settle anywhere was protected.The 1898 Koseki Law,then,was amended so that the compilation method folowed the‘honseki principle’.   As the ie,which the 1871 Koseki Law premised as the unit of koseki compilation,was a family group centered on the household head,there emerged discrepancies between this registered ie and the ie that was an actual residential(communal)group.In this sense,there emerged a wide gap between the koseki’s two roles:that of producing koseki registers and that of being a census(kokō chōsa).

  In 1898 the koseki acquired the role of being a status registration ledger for the family centered on the household head.Koseki was transformed from a koseki-as-‘census’to a family status registration book.At the same time,the Koseki Law became a collateral law to those of the Civil Code’s statutes that pertained to family and inheritance and regulated the‘ie’system and it is in that procses that the state power came to intervene directly with intra-family relations.The purpose of this intervention was not to protect individual family members.The purpose was to underpin the‘ie’in its role as the moral foundation of the emperor system state,where‘ie’is responsible for ancestor worship which represents the‘people's morality’,and it is for that reason that the koseki model is being criticized within post-war society.},
