11. Summary of thesis’s new findings:

- In the Kamakura period or period of Le so, the land is still considered the most basic type of property concerned by the authority. This is also the commonly used type of property for giving inheritance and inheriting.

- Goseibai shikimoku is the legal texts issued by the Kamakura to create a legal basis for protecting the economic base for warriors and balancing warriors’ power with the contemporary forces’.

- Along with the development of the Kamakura authority, the powers of property ownership and management are embodied in the primary son’s position. Women’s economic independence in the warrior families has become weaker and dependent on their husband's warrior families.

- Feudalism of the Kamakura is based on the deeply-decentralized master-vassal relationship. The more this relationship experienced the domestic conflicts, the more cohesive and powerful it became. However, it was more vulnerable after being impacted by the oversea armed forces.

12. Practical applicability, if any:

- The findings of this study will suggest approaches to research other laws of the following Kamakura periods;

- The findings are used as a reference for the subject of Japanese History in the medieval period.
