Honke (本家) is the main household of Japanese family. The head of a household and his successor reside in the honke, while collateral branches establish bunke.[1]
The honke-bunke relationship is also reflected in the relationship between Japanese companies and their subsidiaries.[1]
A bunke (分家) is a branch family established by a collateral of the honke (the line descended through the eldest male) in Japan.
