| History | During the early years of the Edo period (Kanei Era 1624-1644), the various groups of smiths who made up the Ishido Kei left Omi and split into three groups. These three groups moved to Edo (Musashi Province), Wakayama (Kii Province), and Fukuoka (Chikuzen Province) then founded own schools.
