The order and the governance of Japanese medieval city

日本中世纪的城市几乎都没有城市法，但各城市的文化和宗教权力网络以及对各行为者先例的任意使用取代了城市法。在中世纪向近代早期的转变过程中，这种中世纪城市秩序的失效，不是因为逐渐衰落，而是因为过度使用。

Almost of Japanese medieval cities didn' t have city law, but the cultural and religious network of powers in each city and arbitrary use of precedents of each actor were substituted for city law. During the change from medieval era to early modern era, such order of medieval city failed to function, not because of gradual declining but because of excessive use.
