Everything about Soga No Iname totally explained
Soga no Iname (蘇我稲目, presumed born 506 AD, died March
570). Soga no Iname was a leader of the
Soga clan and a statesman during the reign of
Emperor Kimmei in the early
Yamato period. He was the first person to hold the position of
Ōomi that can be verified with reasonable accuracy, in 536 AD. He was the son of Soga no Koma (蘇我高麗) and the father of
Soga no Umako. Information from Nihonshoki or Kojiki, the earliest remaining texts seems eerily absent regarding Soga no Koma, where Koma incidentally is the same Chinese for one of the abbreviated names of
Goguryeo, and his grandfather is named Soga no Karako (蘇我韓子), which can mean "son of Korea".
"According to Nohonshoki
A Japanese aristocrat at that time has the woman in the neighboring country (Korea?) give
birth to a child. It is described that the child was named Karako(韓子). "
Soga no Iname solidified his power by marrying two of his daughters,
Soga no Kitashihime and
Soga no Oanegimi, to Emperor Kimmei. Between the two of them they gave birth to three future emperors,
Emperor Yōmei,
Emperor Sushun and
Empress Suiko, as well as numerous other princes and princesses.
Soga no Iname is also known for his early support of
Buddhism which, according to the
Nihon Shoki, was introduced to the Yamato court from
Paekche in
552. (However, according to a different source, the
Jōgū Shōtoku Hōō Teisetsu, it was introduced in
538.) Opposing Iname and against the acceptance of this new foreign religion were
Mononobe no Okoshi and
Nakatomi no Kamako. The rivalry between the Sogas and the
Mononobes and Nakatomis would carry on into future generations, with Iname's son Soga no Umako defeating Okoshi's son
Mononobe no Moriya in
587, and his grandson and great-grandson
Soga no Emishi and
Soga no Iruka being defeated by a descendant of Kamako,
Nakatomi no Kamatari, in the
Isshi Incident.
