Kii no Kuni no Miyatsuko is a Kuni no miyatsuko that had a uniquely high amount of power similar to the Izumo clan.[2]
The Kinoatai family was responsible for this office. According to the Sendai Kuji Hongi, a historic record, Amenomichine no Mikoto, a descendant of Kami Musubi no Mikoto, was the first to be appointed as Ki no Kuni no Miyatsuko during the reign of Emperor Jinmu. However, Ōnagusahiko is often considered the actual precursor of the Kii no Kuni no Miyatsuko.[2]
They run Hinokuma Shrine.[2][1] and are the Kuni no miyatsuko of Kii Province.
They descend from Amanomichine[1].
They are believed to be buried at Iwase-Senzuka Kofun Cluster[3]..
They worshipped the daughters of Susanoo.[4]
Overview
[change | change source]The Kinoatai family held a title called "Kuni no Miyatsuko" of the Kii Province. The title meant they were a provincial governor with both religious and secular duties. The title is mentioned in historic texts such as the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. The Chinese characters used to write the term in the Nihon Shoki were adopted under the Ritsuryō system, a legal system in ancient Japan, and they can also be read as Kokuzo.[2]
The system of kuni no miyatsuko includes the chieftain of the Nagusa district, Nagusahiko, who was integrated into the imperial control structure in the early phases of kofun construction in the fifth century. Some theories suggest the kuni no miyatsuko system was established in the sixth century.[2]
Following the Taika Reform, which aimed to consolidate imperial power and regulate land ownership in 645, the kuni no miyatsuko also served as gunji, or district administrators. This dual role became less common after the Nara period.[2]
The Kii no Kuni no Miyatsuko ran the Hinokuma and Kunikakasu shrines and their current descendants serve as gūji, or chief priests. The Jōgan Gishiki, a document from the period, outlines the ritual for appointing the Kii no Kuni no Miyatsuko who served these shrines.[2]
