YÅ«ki clan (çµåŸŽæ° YÅ«ki-shi) is a Japanese samurai kin group.[1]
History
The YÅ«ki claim descent from Fujiwara no Hidesato.[2]
The clan is composed of two branches: the ShimÅsa YÅ«ki and the Shirakawa YÅ«ki.[2] The split happened during the Nanboku-chÅ period. One branch supported the Southern Imperial Court, and the other branch the Northern Pretenders.
Like many samurai clans, the YÅ«ki developed a code of provincial laws (bunkoku-hÅ). In 1556, YÅ«ki Masakatsu published New Laws of the YÅ«ki family (çµåŸŽæ°æ³•åº¦ YÅ«ki-shi Hatto).[3]
The Shirakawa branch was destroyed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi;[2] but the ShimÅsa branch survived as daimyo of YÅ«ki Domain in ShimÅsa Province.
The ShimÅsa YÅ«ki became part of the Tokugawa clan.[2]
The main samurai vassals of the YÅ«ki (YÅ«ki shi-ten) included the Tagaya clan, the Mizutani clan, the Yamakawa clan and the Iwakami clan.[4]
