The Tajihi clan (多治比氏 Tajihi-uji; also written as 多治, 丹比, 丹治, 丹墀) was a Japanese noble family.
They were most prominent in the early Nara period, when they furnished several senior officers of the central government, before they were gradually driven out of the centre of power by the rival Fujiwara clan.
The name of the Tajihi clan can be written with various combinations of kanji, including 多治比, 多治, 丹比, 丹治, and 丹墀.
[1] The clan's original kabane was Kimi (公),[1] but were given the title Mahito (or Mabito) by Emperor Tenmu in 684.
[1] His sons Ikemori (多治比池守), Agatamori (多治比県守), Hironari (多治比広成), Hirotari (多治比広足) held various key positions at court, including dainagon and chūnagon.
