Yamato no Aya clan
An ancient immigrant clan in Japan, known for their Chinese ancestry and contributions to early Japanese statecraft and culture.

The Yamato no Aya clan is one of the immigrant clans that came to ancient Japan.
The name combines 東漢 (Eastern Han, referring to Chinese origins) with 氏 (clan). The reading やまとのあやうじ reflects the clan's association with the Yamato region and the term あや (likely from 漢, meaning Chinese or Han).
