The Myochin School
The Myochin school was one of Japan's most prestigious and influential traditions of armor-making, with documented origins dating back to the Muromachi period (1336–1573).
Renowned for their exceptional iron-forging techniques, Myochin craftsmen specialized in producing durable, finely constructed samurai helmets and armor.
During the Edo period, the school expanded throughout Japan, with its craftsmen serving various feudal lords. Their work remains highly regarded for its craftsmanship and historical significance.
