Mibu family - Mibuke

(1) The Fujiwara clan. Originally the Hagawa clan, in the early Edo period, the clan was founded by Motooki, the youngest son of Sono Motooto. The clan took the name Mibu from his grandson Toshihira. In the late Edo period, Motonaga was one of the Seven Nobles, played an active role in the Meiji Restoration, and was later awarded the title of count.

(2) The Ozuki clan. Also known as the Kanmu clan. Since Imao in the early Heian period, they have been officials in the Daijokan Benkan Bureau, and from the mid-Heian period onwards, the head of the clan inherited the position of Sadaisi and was in charge of the Benkan Bureau, with the duties of creating and storing documents. In the early Kamakura period, the clan split into two, and the Mibu clan, whose ancestor was Takamoto, was established. It fought with the Omiya clan of Hirofusa's lineage for the position of head of the clan, and the Omiya clan was abolished in the late Muromachi period, leaving only the Mibu clan as the Ozuki clan. Since Takamoto's son Kunimune, they also inherited the position of Tonomonokami, and were in charge of the Tonomono ryo domain and controlled the finances of the Daijokan. Haretomi in the mid-Muromachi period is famous. He continued to serve in government service until the Meiji Restoration, and was later awarded the title of baron. In addition, the family passed down many documents through their duties, which are currently being published as "Mibu Family Documents" (Meiji Shoin Publishing), compiled by the Archives and Mausolea Department of the Imperial Household Agency.

(1)藤原氏。初め葉川(はがわ)家、江戸初期園基音(そのもとおと)の末子基起(もとおき)を祖とする。孫俊平(としひら)より壬生を称す。幕末基修(もとなが)は七卿落(しちきょうおち)の一人で、明治維新に活躍、のち伯爵を授けられた。

(2)小槻(おづき)氏。官務(かんむ)家ともいう。平安初期の今雄(いまお)以来、太政官(だいじょうかん)弁官局の官人となり、中期以降、氏長者(うじのちょうじゃ)が左大史(さだいし)を世襲して弁官局を管掌し、文書の作成、保管を職掌とした。鎌倉初期2家に分かれ、隆職(たかもと)を祖とする壬生家が成立、広房(ひろふさ)流の大宮家と氏長者を争い、大宮家は室町末期廃絶し、小槻氏は壬生家のみとなった。隆職の子国宗(くにむね)以来主殿頭(とのものかみ)も世襲し、同寮領を管掌し、太政官財政を握った。室町中期の晴富(はれとみ)が有名。以後明治維新まで官務を勤め、のちに男爵を授けられた。なお同家はその職掌がら、多くの文書を伝え、現在宮内庁書陵部編『壬生家文書』（明治書院刊）として刊行中である。
