History:
The Mōri clan (毛利氏族) was a family of daimyō, descended from Ōe no Hiromoto and established themselves in Aki province. Their name was derived from a shōen in Mōri, Aikō district, Sagami province. The generation of Hiromoto began to name themselves Mōri.

After the Jōkyū War Mōri was appointed to the jitō office of a shoen in Aki province. During the Kamakura period Mōri was one of prominent Gokenin family due to the fame of their ancestor Hiromoto. At the end of Kamakura Shogunate, Mōri was distant from the Shogunate and showed a favorable attitude to Ashikaga Takauji.

In Sengoku period Mōri Motonari succeeded to expand their power to the whole Aki province and then other neighbor provinces. In his generation Mōri became the daimyo from a local Gokenin.

After a struggle between Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who led his army as a general of Oda Nobunaga, the both sides made peace and Mōri remained as a daimyo who kept five provinces in Chūgoku. In 1600 Mōri Terumoto led the West Army in the Battle of Sekigahara nominally. The West Army lost the battle and the Mōri clan lost three eastern provinces and moved their capital from Hiroshima to currentday Hagi, Yamaguchi. The newer fief, Mōri han consisted in two provinces: Nagato province and Suo province. Derived from the former, Mōri han was referred often Chōshū han.

After Meiji Restoration the system of han and daimyo was abolished. Mōri was titled as duke.[/COLOR]

The Mori clan based in provinces where Buddhism is very established, has monks combatants (Sohei) of exception. The exceptional handling of the naginata by these monks pushed Daimyos Mori to create a new class of samouraïs handling this weapon.
