Draft:Tanba clan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tanba clan [ja] Is a Japanese clan. They are descended from the Tenson-zoku as mentioned in the Shinsen Shōjiroku.[1]

  In Shinsen Shōjiroku, the descendants of Amatsuhikone, Ame-no-hohi, and Amanomichine [ja], 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 Owari, Tsumori [ja], Amabe, and Tanba [ja] clans.[1]

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, is a forged document,[2] and that these clans actually descended from the 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.[3]
