Immanuelle/Tsumori clan

The Tsumori clan was a Japanese clan that was an aristocratic Shrine family [en; ja]. The family has a lineage dating back to ancient times and is the hereditary chief priest of Sumiyoshi-taisha [en] Shrine ( Sumiyoshi Ward [ja], Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture ). After the Meiji Restoration, the family also became a baronial family of the nobility. [1]

The Tsumori clan is a Japanese clan. They have run Sumiyoshi-taisha [en] since the reign of Emperor Ōjin.[2] They are descended from the Tenson-zoku as mentioned in the Shinsen Shōjiroku [en][3]. The Tsumori clan, whose members have succeeded the position of head priest of Sumiyoshi-taisha [en] since the reign of Emperor Ōjin, are the descendants of Tamomi no Sukune's son, Tsumori no Toyoada (or Tsumori no Toyonogodan).

Tenson zoku change

Tenson-zoku [fr; ja; zh; en:draft; simple; ko; uk] (天孫族) is a generic term for ancient people that established the Yamato kingship [en], which appears in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki and which is told in Japanese mythology. The Shinsen Shōjiroku [en] defines "Tenson" as the offspring of Amenohoakari [en]. It mentions that the Imperial Family, the Mononobe clan [en] and an ancient tribe of Hayato [en] descended from the Tenson tribe.[4]

The Tenson tribe descended from Takamagahara to conquer Ashihara no Nakatsukuni [en] (literally, the Central Land of Reed Plains) in the Kyūshū region. Led by Emperor Jimmu they advanced east through Chugoku region to the Kansai region. Vanquishing the ruling families across western Japan they established the Yamato dynasty (Wakoku) which was ruled by the Great King of Yamato [en] (emperor). The dynasty expanded its power to Chubu and Kanto regions and developed into Japan as we know it today.[4]

Genealogy change

The Amabe clan genealogy (海部氏系図, Amabe-shi Keizu) draft is a famous document housed at Kono Shrine. It is from early Heian period, it is considered the oldest family tree in Japan. The clan claims descent from Amenohoakari [en], and served as at the kuni no miyatsuko of Tanba Province before it was divided into Tamba and Tango. The document records 82 generations of descent from Amenohoakari [en]. It was designated a National Treasure in 1972.[5]

In Shinsen Shōjiroku [en], the descendants of Amatsuhikone [en], Ame-no-hohi [en], and Amanomichine [simple; ja; en:draft], together with the descendants of Amenohoakari [en] are referred to as Tenson-zoku [fr; ja; zh; en:draft; simple; ko; uk] (天孫族). The Tenson-zoku [fr; ja; zh; en:draft; simple; ko; uk] descended from Takamagahara (Plain of High Heaven) to Owari Province and Tanba provinces, and are considered to be the ancestors of Owari [en], Tsumori [ja; en; simple], Amabe [ja; en], and Tanba [ja; en; simple] clans.[6]

However, it is clear that Amabe clan genealogy (海部氏系図, Amabe-shi Keizu), which records these four clans as descendants of Amenohoakari [en], is a forged document, and that these clans actually descended from the sea deity [en] Watatsumi. In addition, Owari clan's genealogy includes the great-grandson of Watatsumi, Takakuraji [ja; en], as their ancestor, and this is considered to be the original genealogy.[7]

history change

The Tsumori clan is said to be a clan descended from Amenohoakari [en] . [1] [8] According to the Sumiyoshi Taisha Jindai-ki [ja], during the reign of Emperor Suinin and Emperor Keikō, Ominagata no Mikoto’s son, Omitanosukune, was active at the shrine. [9]

It is said that the family descended from Tanino Sukune, a powerful [ja] lord in Sumiyoshi County, Settsu [ja] Province . When Taminosukune welcomed Empress Jingu, who returned from the expedition to Silla [ja] in 200, at Shichido Beach (Shichido , Sakai City , Osaka Prefecture ) (then Sumiyoshi County ), he asked Taminosukune to まつ the three Sumiyoshi gods, since Empress Jingu had the divine power of the three Sumiyoshi gods.

In addition, the area around the mouth of the Yodo River [ja], which is the entrance to the Yamato Plain [ja], flourished as a key transportation hub from early on, and the Yamato Imperial Court gave them the duty of protecting the ports, from which the Tsumori clan name also derives. While serving the Sumiyoshi Shrine for generations, they also led the Umi clan and mastered navigation techniques. [10] The first evidence that the clan was called Tsumori dates back to the time of Tsumori no Sukune Kunimasa [ja], who traveled to the sea as a member of the Tang Dynasty missions [ja] . [10]

In the late Heian period, Kunimoto [ja] was also well known as a poet and was active in areas other than his role as a priest. [8] According to the Sumiyoshi Genealogy and the Genealogy of the Sumiyoshi Shrine Priests and Their Clan, Kunimoto is known as the founder of the Tsumori clan revival. [10] During the Nanboku-cho period, Kunika [ja] and Kunihisa [ja] were active as military commanders of the Southern Court. [10] [8] During the Edo period, some of them even ranked as nobles [ja] . [8]

In 1871, during Kunimi [ja] 's reign, he was elevated to the peerage as a member of a prestigious shrine family, and on July 8, 1884, he was elevated to the rank of baron . [1] [11]
