Abstract:
During the Ritsuryo period in Fuji-Gun of Suruga-Kuni, Fuji-Uji was considered the most powerful clan, who had its
influence in Fuji-Gun Kamigata and served as the chief priest of Fuji Sengen Shrine. Fuji-Uji is regarded as a local lord who privately owned the land and people of the locality(hometown) and promoted development.
On the other hand, Fuji-Uji was a member of the Wani-Uji, a central(Kinai) clan descended from Emperor Koushou,
which moved to Fuji-Gun and became the first of Fuji-Uji, according to two genealogical records, Wani-Uji-Keizu
and Fuji-Uji-Keizu.
In short, there are the two theories that Fuji-Uji was either a local or a central powerful family, however the examination of the genealogical records shows no relationship between Wani-Uji and Fuji-Uji.
The conclusion of this paper is that it is impossible to identify Fuji-Uji as Wanibe-Omi, and that the continuity of the
two genealogical records were created in later periods, from ancient to early modern times.
