Owari clan
 | The topic of this article may not meet Wikitia's general notability guideline. |
The Owari clan is a Japanese clan. The Kujiki tells their story. [1]
The Owari clan established the Atsuta Shrine in 192, and held the position of the shrine's high priest since ancient times, passing it down from generation to generation[2]
Genealogy
In Shinsen Shōjiroku, the descendants of Amatsuhikone, Ame-no-hohi, and Amanomichine, together with the descendants of Amenohoakari are referred to as Tenson-zoku. The Tenson-zoku descended from Takamagahara (Plain of High Heaven) to Owari and Tanba provinces, and are considered to be the ancestors of the Owari clan, as well as three other clans Tsumori, Amabe, and Tanba clans.[3]
However, it is clear that Amabe-shi Keizu, which records these four clans as descendants of Amenohoakari, is a forged document,[4] and that these clans actually descended from the List of water deities|sea deity Watatsumi. In addition, Owari clan's genealogy includes the great-grandson of Watatsumi, Takakuraji, as their ancestor, and this is considered to be the original genealogy.[5]
Cultural influence
According to one theory Danpusan Kofun is the tomb of a powerful chieftain of the Owari clan, perhaps Owari no Kusaka, who is mentioned in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki chronicles of the Nara period, and whose daughter married the semi-legendary Emperor Keitai and who was the mother of Emperor Ankan and Emperor Senka.[6]
Scholarship on the Kujiki generally considers book 5 to preserve genuine traditions of the Mononobe and Owari clans.[1]
The Owari clan established the Atsuta Shrine.[2]Monument of Minamoto no Yoritomo's birthplace, Suenori's villa, at Seigan-ji.
