Draft:Sarume clan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sarume clan is a Japanese clan[1]. Together, Ame-no-Uzume and Sarutahiko Ōkami founded the Sarume clan.[2][3][4]
They are said to have interbred with the Wani clan[5]
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.[6]: 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].[6]: 168
