Abstract—The construction of the modern police system in Japan holds an important historical position in the history of Japan and social evolution. Toshiyoshi Kawaji, a key figure in the development of Japan’s modern police system, was responsible for training several core police officers for the Meiji government and helping modernize Japanese society. His achievements were remarkable: stabilizing national political power and social order, altering public perceptions of the police, and expanding their social influence. Referred to as the ‘Police Analects’ of Japan, Keisatsu Shugan (Police Code of Conduct) encapsulates Toshiyoshi Kawaji’s thoughts about police administration. This study describes its key ideas, including the “Blood And Sweat Concept”, “Equality”, and the “Role Model” “Hearing in Silence, Seeing in Invisibility,” and demonstrates the influence of traditional Chinese culture and wisdom to which Toshiyoshi Kawaji was exposed during his education. The inflow and dissemination of “police” in China are similar to those in Japan, and similarly, traditional Chinese culture has played a key role in the construction of the Japanese police system. As the saying goes “The relationship between China and Japan has a long and rich history”.
