The ''Kaisen Shikimoku'' ("Law Code of Shipping") or ''Kaisen Daihô'' ("Great Laws of Shipping") was a compilation of customary codes observed by those involved in the shipping business.

Though the codes are sometimes said to have been compiled in [[1223]] by [[Hojo Yoshitoki|Hôjô Yoshitoki]] or by [[Emperor Go-Horikawa]], they were most likely in fact compiled no earlier than the 16th century, recording practices already standard. Judging from style and contents, shippers from [[Bonotsu|Bônotsu]] in [[Satsuma province|Satsuma]], Urado in [[Tosa province|Tosa]], and [[Hyogo|Hyôgo-no-tsu]] were likely involved in the compilation. The law code originally contained thirty-one items, with an additional ten items being added in the early [[Edo period]].
