Bone goods - Koppin

Japanese: 骨品 - こっぴん
Bone goods - Koppin
A blood-based class system for the people of the royal capitals of Korea and Silla. It was made up of the bone hierarchy of Seongbone and Jinbone (royalty) and the head rank hierarchy of Rokkubon, Goduppon, and Shiduppon (general aristocracy). Of these, the Seongbone class is said to have disappeared in 654 with the death of Queen Jindeok, but some believe that Seongbone did not actually exist and was merely a posthumous honorific. Judging from its name, the head rank hierarchy is thought to have originally consisted of six classes, from Rokkubon to Iduppon. The basic groups that make up each bone rank are clan groups, and which rank a person belongs to is basically determined by birth.

Japanese:
朝鮮,新羅の王京人を対象にした血縁的身分制。聖骨,真骨の骨階層(王族)と,六頭品,五頭品,四頭品などの頭品階層(一般貴族)とによって構成される。このうち,聖骨身分は真徳女王の死去により654年に消滅したと伝えられているが,そもそも聖骨は実在せず後代の追尊にすぎないとする見方もある。頭品階層はその名称から考えて,本来六頭品から一頭品までの6階層より成っていたと思われる。骨品の各階層を構成する基礎集団は〈族〉などと表現される同族集団であり,どの階層に属するかは基本的には生れによって決定される。
