Katoku-sōzoku (house succession)

家督相続 ／ primogeniture-japan　—　Institutions

A form of inheritance in pre-war Japan where the eldest son solely inherited the position of the head of the household and its property.

A scene for the related term “Zaibatsu” — South Korea　November 21st ／ Chaebol Headquarters

The family control of the zaibatsu was based on this form of inheritance. This system ended with the post-war revision of the Civil Code (according to historical tax documents from the National Tax Agency).
