*''Japanese'': 明珍家 ''(Myouchin ke)''
The Myôchin school, or family, was a lineage of renowned armorers stretching back to the 12th century. The successive heads of the Myôchin line remained prominent and famed through the [[Edo period]], and retain a succession and a sizable collection of notable items of arms & armor today.
The lineage traces its origins to an armorer named Munesuke (宗介) who lived on Kujô-dôri in 12th century [[Kyoto]]. Attracting the attention and favor of [[Emperor Konoe]] (r. [[1141]]-[[1155]], Munesuke was granted the honorific [[art-name]] (''gô'') "Myôchin," which he then passed on to his descendants.
The 54th family head [[Myochin Munesuke|Myôchin Munesuke]] ([[1688]]-[[1735]]) is particularly renowned. He is buried at Kôgen-ji in the [[Komagome]] neighborhood of [[Tokyo]] along with a number of his successors.
