The Miwa clan (大神氏, Miwa-uji) is a Japanese shake and samurai family who have served the Miwa Shrine for generations.[1][2] The ancestor of the Miwa family is said to be Okuninushi no Mikoto,[2] via Ōtataneko [ja].[3] The Omiwa clan, also known as the Ogami clan, were a prominent family in ancient Japan known for their responsibility in performing state rituals for the Yamato Court. The clan rose to prominence in the period between the latter half of the 5th century and the 6th century, before the establishment of capital cities such as Heijo-kyo and Heian-kyo. The clan's main center of influence was the area around Mt. Miwa, which was considered a significant religious and political site. According to tradition, the ancestors of the Ogami clan were able to calm the first epidemic in Japan and this belief has been passed down through the generations to the present-day Ōmiwa Shrine. Recent research has shed light on the role and significance of the Ogami clan in ancient royal power and rituals.[4]
