Ono Emishi

Japanese: 小野毛人 - おののえみし

Year of death: Tenmu 6 (677)
Year of birth: Unknown. An official who served Emperor Tenmu. Son of Ono no Imoko. Father of Keno. His gravestone was discovered in 1613 near Kamitakano in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City. This location corresponds to Ono-go, Atago County, Yamashiro Province, as mentioned in the Wamyōshō, and was the base of the Ono clan. It was later reburied in 1697, but was stolen and removed in 1913, where it remains to this day. Although he was the son of Imoko, not much is written about him in official histories, and from this gravestone we know that he served the court of Emperor Tenmu and was appointed Daijōkan and Gyōbukyō. This "Dajōkan" is thought to be an official position that constituted the Daijōkan, the highest administrative institution, but considering that the Ono clan's family tree states "Daitokukan Chunagon," it is likely that he held the position of Dainagon or Chunagon.

没年：天武6(677)
生年：生年不詳
天武天皇に仕えた官人。小野妹子の子。毛野の父。墓誌が慶長18(1613)年現在の京都市左京区上高野付近で発見されている。同地は『和名抄』にみえる山城国愛宕郡小野郷に当たり,小野氏の根拠地であった。その後元禄10(1697)年に再び埋納されたが,盗難にあうなどし,大正2(1913)年取り出されて今日に至っている。妹子の子だが正史にはあまり記載がなく,この墓誌によって天武天皇の朝廷に仕え,太政官兼刑部卿に任命されたことが知られる。この「太政官」とは行政の最高機関太政官を構成する官職と考えられるが,小野氏系図には大徳冠中納言とあったことからみて,大納言か中納言の職にあったものらしい。
