History Department - Fuhitobe

Japanese: 史部 - ふひとべ
History Department - Fuhitobe

A type of ancient bee. A group of tomo who worked in literary duties at the Imperial Court. Most of them are thought to have descended from immigrants from the continent or the peninsula. Unlike ordinary bees, they were given the surname "shi". As they are called the "Yamato Kawachi no Fuhitobe," the two major powers were the Fumi no Atae clan, a branch of the Yamato Ayanoatai clan based in Yamato (Nara Prefecture), and the Kawachi no Fumi no Obito clan, based in Kawachi (Osaka Prefecture). However, from the 6th century onwards, the Funanofuhito, Tsuhito, and Shiraihito clans, who claimed to be descendants of the newly arrived Oushinni, grew in power, were assimilated into the Nishi Bunshu clan, and gradually came to monopolise the history section.

Japanese:

古代の部(べ)の一種。朝廷において文筆にかかわる職務に携わったトモの集団である。ほとんどが大陸や半島よりの渡来人の系譜をひくものとみられる。一般の部とは異なり、姓(かばね)「史」を賜り称している。「東西史部(やまとかわちのふひとべ)」と称せられるように、大和(やまと)(奈良県)に本拠を置く倭漢直(やまとのあやのあたい)氏一族の文直(ふみのあたえ)氏と、河内(かわち)(大阪府)に本拠を置く西文首(かわちのふみのおびと)氏が二大勢力を構成していた。ところが6世紀以降、新たに渡来した王辰爾(おうしんに)の後裔(こうえい)を称する船史(ふなのふひと)、津(つ)史、白猪(しらい)史の諸氏が勢力を伸ばし、西文首氏に同化、しだいに史部を独占するに至った。
