	Mononobe clan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mononobe clan (物部氏; Mononobe-shi) was an old Japanese clan of the Yamato period, which is known for its military opposition to the Soga clan.
		The Mononobe were opposed to the spread of Buddhism, not on religious grounds, but more so as the result of feelings of nationalism and a degree of xenophobia.
		The conflict came to a head at the battle of Shigisen in the year 587, where the Mononobe clan were defeated and crushed, leaving few obstacles against the further spread of Buddhism into Japan.

	Judo Book Review - Secrets of the Samurai - The Martial Arts of Feudal Japan
		The power of the Tokugawa clan and their allies was severely curtailed by the efforts of other powerful clans of warriors, including the Choshu and Satsuma clans, which were to provide the "new" Japan with the nucleus of an Imperial Army and Navy destined for greater glories and greater disasters in the decades to follow.
		Al-though the clan had a strict relationship to (almost an identification with) rural groups of people descended from common ancestors, its basic pattern of structure and functionality was quite smoothly and effectively adapted to town and city life, where it blended with, and reinforced, other forms of organizations, such as professional guilds and corporations.
		It is not clear whether these military clans and their affiliated "corporations" (be) were independent units (as the feudal clans emerging from the provinces centuries later proved to be) or simply branches of the imperial clan through which it carried out its policies of expansion and centralization of power.

		This system was inherently unstable, however, due to the fact that clan leaders tended to hold the interests of their own clans above those of other clans, including the imperial clan itself.
		Thus, the late Yamato period (552-710) was characterized by great clan struggles, the most famous of which involved the two most powerful clans of the time, the Soga and the Mononobe, which ultimately ended in the domination of the Soga clan in 587.
		In order to establish a stable, centralized government (in place of the decentralized patterns of clan rule), Prince Shotoku advocated the adoption of certain elements of Chinese civilization, including the Confucian principles upon which Chinese government was based.
