As examples of confiscation of properties, the properties of traitors, possessions, stolen goods, bribes, illegally obtained goods such as goods brought in by contraband trades (what fall under the category of illegally obtained goods here, however, is fewer than that of aganaimono (stolen goods) defined in the modern Penal Codes), and prohibited objects (goods which were banned among the general public) were confiscated, and baizo (the penalty which was given to a thief to recompense by paying back twofold of what he/she stole) was given.
財物の没官としては、謀反・大逆者の財産、盗品や賄賂、密貿易などによる不法取得物（その範疇は近代刑法典の贓物よりは狭い）、犯禁の物（民間での所持が禁じられた物）、倍贓（盗品を盗んだ者に対して倍にして償う罰）に対して科された。
