The Abeno family is a prominent Japanese family known for their historical significance in the Japanese imperial court. They have played important roles in politics and culture throughout Japan's history, particularly during the Heian period. Members of the Abeno family were often involved in various governmental positions and contributed to the development of Japanese literature and arts. One of the most notable figures from the Abeno family is Abeno Seimei, a legendary onmyoji (a practitioner of Japanese esoteric cosmology) who is often depicted in folklore and popular culture. His legacy continues to influence modern representations of onmyodo, the traditional Japanese practice of divination and spiritual guidance.
