Mononobe Family

This episode we talk a fair bit about the Mononobe, and there will be more in the future, as the Mononobe were major players in the court. While here we focus on their military aspect, they were also seen as ritualists who would eventually resist the influence of the foreign Buddhist thought and practice vice “indigenous” ways of ritual and worship. At this point they were still fairly dominant, however.
