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 {{ill|Aso clan|ja|阿蘇氏}} of [[Izumo-taisha|Aso Shrine]], the {{Ill|Owari clan|ja|尾張氏}} of [[Atsuta Shrine]], the {{ill|Munakata clan|ja|宗像氏}} of [[Munakata Taisha]],<ref
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=":2" />

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 |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 |page=32 |access-date=2023-10-24 |publisher=Bloomsbury Academic |isbn=978-1-4742-7108-0}}</ref>
