Oe clan - Oeuji

Japanese: 大江氏 - おおえうじ
Oe clan - Oeuji

Originally the Oe clan. The name comes from the place name Oe-go, Otokuni County, Yamashiro Province (Kyoto Prefecture). In December 790 (Enryaku 9), Emperor Kanmu issued an imperial decree granting the surname Oe Ason to Haji no Sukune, the emperor's maternal grandmother, and in October 866 (Jogan 8), a petition was submitted requesting that the clan members change their surnames, changing it to Oe. The clan has produced many famous poets and scholars, including Otondo, Chisato, Chifuru, Masahira, and Masafusa. In "Sonpi Bunmyaku," "Honcho Koin Jounroku," "Oe Clan Genealogy," and other documents, the Oe clan's origins are stated to be through Prince Abo, the son of Emperor Heizei, and the order is Emperor Heizei -- Prince Abo -- Oeda Mototaka -- Oe no Otohito. However, this is an artificial attempt by the Oe clan to honor their own family lineage, and the correct order is that "Kugyo Bunin" states that the Otohito's ancestral surname was Haji.

Japanese:

もと大枝氏。山城国(やましろのくに)(京都府)乙訓(おとくに)郡大江郷の地名に由来する。790年(延暦9)12月桓武(かんむ)天皇の勅に、天皇の外祖母氏である土師宿禰(はじのすくね)に大枝朝臣(あそん)賜姓のことがみえ、866年(貞観8)10月氏人の改姓を求める上書をいれ、大江氏と改めた。音人(おとんど)、千里(ちさと)、千古(ちふる)、匡衡(まさひら)、匡房(まさふさ)など著名な歌人や学者を輩出している。『尊卑分脈(そんぴぶんみゃく)』や『本朝皇胤紹運録(ほんちょうこういんじょううんろく)』『大江氏系図』などでは大江氏の出自を平城天皇(へいぜいてんのう)の皇子阿保親王(あぼしんのう)の系とし、平城天皇―阿保親王―大枝本主(もとたか)―大江音人としているが、これは大江氏が自家の家系を尊くしようとした作為によるもので、『公卿補任(くぎょうぶにん)』に音人について先祖本姓土師とあるのが正しい。
