*''Japanese'': 甲良家 ''(Koura ke)''
The Kôra family were a lineage of carpenters and craftsmen maintained as retainers (''[[goyo shonin|goyô shônin]]'') by the [[Tokugawa shogunate]], and known for overseeing the design and construction of [[Edo castle]] and [[Nikko Toshogu|Nikkô Tôshôgû Shrine]].
Ôshima Mitsumoto<!--大島盈株--> ([[1842]]-1925) was the final head of the family. He was employed as a government official by the [[Meiji period|Meiji state]] and designed train stations and other official buildings until the 1890s.
