Amabe-uji Keizu is one of the oldest existing genealogies in Japan, so it has high value as a historical manuscript.

The Amabe-no-Atai clan and its cognate clans were densely distributed in Owari Province, and these clans were related to the Owari-no-Muraji clan. The Kono-jinja Shrine possesses Amabe-uji Kanchū Keizu. This is a genealogy of the Amabe-no-Atai clan and includes historical commentaries on the Amabe-uji Keizu in detail. In 1975, these genealogies were designated as 'Important Cultural Properties'. In short, Amabe-uji Keizu was edited, submitted to the provincial capital of Tango Province, authorized by the Tango Kokushi, and the stamps were attached.
