'''The Izumo clan''' is a Japanese noble family descended from [[Ame no Hohi]] who used to rule [[Izumo Province]] and run [[Izumo Taisha]] today.<ref>{{Citation |title=Converting Japan, 1825–1875 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474271110.ch-004 |work=The Origin of Modern Shinto in Japan : The Vanquished Gods of Izumo |date=2016 |page=38 |access-date=2023-10-24 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |doi=10.5040/9781474271110.ch-004 |isbn=978-1-4742-7108-0}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last1=Cali |first1=Joseph |title=Shinto Shrines: A Guide to the Sacred Sites of Japan's Ancient Religion |last2=Dougill |first2=John |date=2012-11-30 |publisher=Latitude 20 |isbn=978-0-8248-3713-6 |edition=Illustrated |location=Honolulu |language=English}}</ref><ref name="
The clan were originally [[Kuni no miyatsuko]] but after the abolition of the role they took on a priestly role at [[Izumo-taisha]], they share this history with the [[Aso clan]] of [[Aso Shrine]], the [[Owari clan]] of [[Atsuta Shrine]], the {{ill|Munakata clan|ja|宗像氏}} of [[Munakata Taisha]],<ref name="
From the beginning the role of Izumo no Kuni no Miyatsuko was seen as substantially more important than the other [[Kuni no miyatsuko]].<ref name="
They held the position of [[Kuni no miyatsuko]] of [[Izumo Province]]. They now run [[Izumo-taishakyo]] as the Senge family.{{cn|date=November 2023}} The head of the family was still called the [[Kuni no miyatsuko|Kokuzo]] or Kuni no MIyatsuko in the medieval period, long after the Kuni no Miyatsuko of other provinces ceased to be relevant.<ref name="
Their position as a religious authority is sometimes seen as in contrast to the Yamato as an "other Japan". Their religious authority was somewhat unusual among Kuni no Miyatsuko due to being in a religiously significant location.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Antoni |first=Klaus |title=Izumo as the 'Other Japan': Construction vs. Reality |url=https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=f4c1688482fde5c4fbd16a8192d81decc6e97f93 |journal=Japanese Religions |volume=30 |pages=1–17}}</ref> They were likely a rival clan to the [[Imperial House of Japan]] early on, with the relationship of their subordination being mythologized as a mutual compromise in the Kojiki and Izumo no Fudoki.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Piggott |first=Joan R. |date=1989 |title=Sacral Kingship and Confederacy in Early Izumo |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.2307/2384698 |journal=Monumenta Nipponica |volume=44 |issue=1 |pages=62 |doi=10.2307/2384698 |jstor=2384698 |issn=0027-0741}}</ref>

They are descendants of {{Nihongo|[[Amenohohi-no-mikoto]]|天穂日命}}, the second son of {{Nihongo|[[Amaterasu|Amaterasu-ōmikami]]|天照大御神}}, the sun goddess whose first son is the ancestor of the imperial family, have been, in the name of {{Nihongo|Izumo Kokuso|出雲国造}} or governor of Izumo, taking over rituals because when Izumo-taisha was founded Amenohohi-no-mikoto rendered service to Okuninushi-no-kami. Ame no Hohi was sent to run [[Izumo Taisha]] for Susanoo when the transfer of land occurred as part of the agreement.<ref>{{Citation |title=Converting Japan, 1825–1875 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781474271110.ch-004 |work=The Origin of Modern Shinto in Japan : The Vanquished Gods of Izumo |date=2016 |page=32 |access-date=2023-10-24 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |doi=10.5040/9781474271110.ch-004 |isbn=978-1-4742-7108-0}}</ref>
The family's conflict around 1340 made them separated into two lineages, {{Nihongo|Senge|千家}} and {{Nihongo|Kitajima|北島}}. This occurred because of a dispute related to the eldest son being too sickly to perform the physically demanding Fire drill succession ritual to become Kokuzo.<ref name="
After the separation those two families took the position of Izumo no Kuni no Miyatsuko by turns until the late 19th century. Shinto was reconstructed as modernized Japan's national religion in the late 19th century. In 1871, Izumo-taisha was designated as an Imperial-associated shrine and the government sent a new administrator so Izumo no Kuni no Miyatsuko families were no more the administrators of Izumo-taisha. Senge and Kitajima established their religious corporations respectively, {{Nihongo|Izumo-taisha-kyo|出雲大社教}} by Senge and {{Nihongo|Izumo-kyo|出雲教}} by Kitajima.
