Shinabe (品部) were a caste in the Yamato kingship. It is a type of Bemin clan which is dedicated to a specific occupation rather than farming.[1] They paid tribute to and served the Yamato government during the pre-Taika period in Japan. They lived in various places and were placed under the jurisdiction of Tomomo-zukuri (Tomomo-no-miyazuko). They were sometimes called by the name of their tribute or occupation, and sometimes by the name of the banzo in charge of them. When the banzo was powerful, they were considered to be private citizens. Under the decree system, they were liberated and most of them became civilians.[2]
According to legend, they descended from Tamanooya-no-Mikoto.[3]
