Specifically speaking, there are two kinds of compromise: one is a comprise in the sense of 'donation' that one person donates to the other for free (in which it is possible to divide it into two actions: one is to donate to one's heir while they are still living and the other is to donate to the third party and temples and shrines [Taninwayo]) and the other is a compromise in the sense of 'reconciliation' that the parties in a suit end the suit by making a compromise (in which, incidentally, one's rights are unconditionally transferred to the other or one is forced to abandon their rights).
具体的行為としては、ある人物が他者に無償で贈与する（その中でも自己の相続人に生前に贈与する行為と寺社や第三者に寄進する行為（他人和与）に分けることが可能である）「贈与」の意味での和与と訴訟当事者同士が和解をもって訴訟を終結させる（これに付随して権利が無条件で他者に移る、または自己の権利を放棄する状況が発生する場合がある）「和解」の意味での和与の2種類ある。
