Overview

The Ancient times Gōzoku were a technology clan involved in the construction of burial mounds and funerary rituals during the Kofun period, which lasted about 150 years from the end of the 4th century to the early 6th century in Izumo, Kibi, Kawachi, and Yamato.

The area around Dōmyō-ji in Fujiidera City, Osaka Prefecture, including the Mitsuzuka Kofun, is called "Doji no Sato", which means "village of the Doji", and was the home of the Doji clan, hence the name. The predecessor of Domyoji Tenmangu Shrine is the Tsuchishi Shrine, and Domyoji is the Tsuchishi clan temple.

[In the Mokkan excavated in 2001 at the Asuka-kyo site, it says, "Dobashi-ri, Dobashi, Tora, rice, one stone, Dobashi-ri, Obaku-gun", which means "Dobashi-ri, Dobashi, Tora, rice, one stone, Dobashi-ri, Obaku-gun", and it is written in ink that the Dobashi Tora there sent one stone of rice, which shows the spread of the Dobashi clan.[1]

The Doji clan is a clan whose ancestor was Nomishukune, and the tradition of Nomishukune can be found in the article of July 7, 7th year of the Tarunin Era in Nihon Shoki. The Emperor of Japan summoned Nomi Shukune from Izumo Province and had him wrestle with him. Nomishukune killed Toma jumping to his death, and as a result, the emperor gave Toma jumping to his land (now Toma, Katsuragi City, Nara Prefecture) to Nomishukune. As a result, the emperor gave the land to Nomishukune, and Nomishukune stayed there to serve the emperor. The "Nomi" in Nomi Shukune is mentioned in the Iishi-gun article of the Izumo Fudoki, and it is believed that he was from this area.[2]

The second tradition related to Nomishukune is found in the "Nihon Shoki" (Chronicles of Japan) on July 6, 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Taruhito, when his empress, Hiba-zu-hime, died. Emperor Taruhito had previously forbidden the martyrdom of a living person buried in a burial mound, so he consulted with his retainers about how to conduct the funeral. The emperor was very pleased with this and gave the surname "Doji" to Nomishukune in honor of his achievements.

Later, the Tsuchishi Inote were responsible for the construction of the Mogari Palace of Prince Raime in Saba, Suo Province, and the execution of the funeral rites of King Kibihime by the Emperor's decree. The Doji clan also increased the number of tombs in Kawachi Province and prospered.

According to The Chronicles of Zoku Nihonki, Kanmu's maternal grandmother, the Tsuchishi sister, was from the Tsuchishi clan of Yamashiro Province, Otokuni County, Oe Township. Oe]]. Her daughter, Takano no Niigasa, became the mother of Emperor Kanmu and Prince Sawara. Eventually, the Doji clan was given Kabane by Emperor Kanmu, and divided into the Oe, Sugawara, and Akishino clans.
