Inbe clan (also spelled Imibe clan or Inbe clan)[1] was a Japanese clan during the Yamato period.[2] They claimed descent from Futodama.[3]
The Inbe clan originally had a religious function by preparing and taking care of offerings.[4]
According to the Kogo Shūi the Inbe clan were given Awa Province in Shikoku so they could cultivate hemp there.[5]: 384 This is where Inbe Shrine was built.
Their family shrines are Awa Shrine[6] and Inbe Shrine.
