<br />
''Be'' were lineages of craftsmen and other skilled workers, such as potters or scribes, attached to ''[[uji]]'' (elite clans) in the [[Yamato period]]. These families of skilled workers were originally chiefly immigrants from the [[Korean peninsula]], and the word ''be'' is derived from a Korean term; indigenous ("Japanese") artisans soon came to be incorporated into ''be'' as well. Some of these developed into powerful houses of their own in later periods.<br />
