metadata.value: The purpose of this article is to analyze the role of the military component underlying the
  functioning of the Japanese state in the 7th–9th centuries. It was during this period that military
  houses appeared in Japan, and military service began to be perceived as one of the most
  important government functions. The recruitment of the armed forces was based on universal
  conscription. As part of the most important government codes, the Military Defense Law
  for the first time in Japan laid the foundation for the formation of the institution of universal
  conscription. In this regard, it is extremely interesting to trace how much the Japanese
  recruitment system coincided and whether it coincided at all with the Chinese one. Created
  at the turn of the 7th–8th centuries the army recruitment system was a complex phenomenon,
  which was undoubtedly a progressive step towards the formation and development of the
  Japanese state. However, despite all the progressiveness of this system, which was borrowed by
  the Japanese from China, in the conditions of Japanese reality (exorbitant burden for peasants
  and the absence of enemies) it turned out to be unnecessary and by the 9th century it was
  replaced by “private” formations. However, the fact that this system, with minimal changes,
  was taken as the basis of the Japanese Imperial Army in the second half of the 19th century
  and existed until 1945, speaks of its advanced character and enormous historical significance.
