The Wani clan (和珥氏) was a Sacredotal Japanese clan.[1]: 149–150 According to the Kojiki, the Wani clan was descended from Prince Ameoshitarashi [ja], a son of Emperor Kōshō.[2]
The Wani clan is believed to be related to Wani dragons, with Naniwa-neko Takefurukuma described as an ancestor. Marrying women of the Wani clan was believed to give the Emperor control over the sea.[1]: 149–150
They had a similar religious role to the Sarume clan [ja] as mediums, so many women of the Sarume clan [ja] had husbands of the Wani clan perform ritual roles as substitutes for men of the Sarume clan [ja].[1]: 168
The clan declined in the 7th century but cadet branches such as the Ono clan[1]: 168 and the Kakinomoto clan[2] continued to thrive.[1]: 168
They were sometimes called the Wanizumi clan, with -mi being an honorific suffix.
