Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications

One of the eight ministries under the ritsuryo system. It is also read as "Osamu Tsukasa." The predecessor of this ministry was the Osamu Tsukasa, which first appeared in 681 (the 10th year of Emperor Tenmu's reign). Under the ritsuryo system, it belonged to the Sabenkan Bureau of the Daijokan, and in addition to handling clan issues such as the real surnames, succession, and marriage of officials of the fifth rank or higher, it also supervised matters such as auspicious events, funerals, gifts of incense money, national anniversaries, given names, and attendance at courts by foreign guests. This ministry had jurisdiction over two offices, the Uta and Genba offices, and two offices, the Shoryo and Funeral Ceremonies offices, and included four ranks of officials: one Kami, one Daisuke, one Shosuke, one Daijo, two Shojo, one Daisakan, and three Shoroku, as well as ten Hisashisho, four Ooi Tokibe, six Sunai Tokibe, two Shosho, 60 Tsukaibe, and four Jikicho. Of these, the Daisho Tokibe was one office, and was responsible for litigation related to the clan's titles.
