  The Notary system in Japan was established in 1886, when the Japanese government laid down the Notary Regulation which was influenced by the French system.
  The Notary Law was enacted in 1909 by the thorough revision of the Notary Regulation. The Law was formulated in accordance with Japanese tradition and culture, although it adopted general ideas of the German system.
  A notary in Japan is a public official appointed by the Minister of Justice and works in the jurisdiction of a Legal Affairs Bureau in which he was appointed.
  A notary does not receive any salary from the government but fees for his notarial services from his clients.
  Accordingly, a notary is not a civil servant in strict sense under the Government Official Act. He is a sort of judicial officer who performs his duties independently and impartially and who gives legal advices to persons who do not have enough legal knowledge.
  According to the Notary Law, the Ministry of justice may appoint a following person as a notary: first, a person who is qualified as a judge, public prosecutor or practising lawyer: second, a person who is found by the Notary Inquiry Committee to have profound knowledge and experience equivalent to a judge, public prosecutor or practising lawyer owing to his long career in Ie gal affairs; third, a person who is a Japanese national of not less than twenty years of age and who completed a training programme as a notary apprentice for at least 6 months after he had passed a certain examination.
  The number of notaries in Japan is quite small for her large population, compared with that in other countries.
