Japanese[edit]

Uji were similar to the traditional Japanese clans;[2] however, the pre-Taika uji did not have many of the characteristics which are commonly understood to be part of Japanese clans.[3] For example, the Nakatomi clan and the Fujiwara clan were each uji.[4]

The uji was not only a social, economic and political unit. It also had religious significance in the 5th–7th centuries.[5] The family chief has the title of Uji no kami[4] (氏上) although uji no osa (氏長), uji no chōja (氏長者), and uji no mune (氏宗) were also used depending on the time period. At the beginning of the Heian period uji no chōja was used most often.[ 112.209.47.8 (talk) 14:37, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
