Ōtomo Clan (ancient)
The was an aristocratic kin group (''uji'') of the Yamato period. The Ōtomo were known for their military strength and (along with other militarily valuable clans like the Heguri and Mononobe) supplanted the formerly dominant Katsuragi clan as the most powerful clan at the Yamato court during the fifth century. The Ōtomo clan lost imperial favor in 540 when Emperor Kinmei sided against the advice of Ōtomo no Kanamura that a military expedition be sent against the Korean kingdom of Silla, and stripped Kanamura of the title of ''ōmuraji''. The Ōtomo clan likely also lost Kinmei's favor because they had led the clans supporting the succession of Emperor Ankan and Emperor Senka to Emperor Keitai, while the clans supporting Kinmei's claim were led by the Soga clan. Soga clan leader Soga no Iname was a leader of the Soga clan, an early proponent of Buddhism in Japan, and a statesman during the reign of Emperor Kinmei, Emperors Kinmei and Emperor Senka, Senka in the Asu ...

Ōtomo No Kanamura
Ōtomo no Kanamura (大伴金村) was a Japanese warrior and statesman during the late Kofun period. Most of what is known of his life comes from the ''Kojiki'' and the ''Nihon Shoki''. His clan, the Ōtomo, had been highly influential at court since the time of his grandfather Ōtomo no Muroya. According to these sources, Kanamura was instrumental in putting down the uprising of Heguri no Matori (平群馬鳥) and in raising Emperor Buretsu to the throne. Buretsu, in gratitude, raised Kanamura to the position of Ōmuraji (a high-ranking ministerial position). He also oversaw the succession of Emperor Keitai, instead of the claimant Prince Yamatohiko, and selected Keitai's empress himself. Kanamura embraced an aggressive policy towards the kingdom of Silla (part of modern-day Korea), and advocated sending forces there; his own son Ōtomo no Satehiko led two expeditions against the Korean kingdoms. This policy eventually led to his downfall, when in 540 the Emperor Kinmei, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
