The Owari school represents one of the twin pillars of Japanese iron openwork tsuba production, standing alongside the Kyō tradition as a defining force in the art of ji-sukashi (ground openwork) guards. The school's origins lie in the Owari province (modern Aichi prefecture), where production began in the early to middle Muromachi period and continued across a sustained span extending into the Edo period.
