The 'Ōmi code' (近江令) refers to a collection of governing rules compiled in 668, hence being the first collection of
Ritsuryo laws in
classical Japan. These laws were compiled by
Fujiwara Kamatari under the order of
Emperor Tenji.
This collection of laws is now lost and its disputed existence is supported only by short references in later documents (among which the ''Toshi Kaden'', 藤氏家伝, the history of the Fujiwara).
It is furthermore missing from the
Nihon Shoki.
