The Kikuoka school (Kikuoka-ha) was founded in Edo by Kikuoka Mitsuyuki (菊岡光行), a disciple of Yanagawa Naomitsu (柳川直光) of the Yokoya lineage. Born in Kan'en 3 (1750) in Kanda Kajimachi, Mitsuyuki trained thoroughly under the Yanagawa house and established an independent line that perpetuated the mainline machibori tradition. His younger brother Mitsumasa (菊岡光政, 1759--1824) likewise studied under Naomitsu and became a leading kinko in his own right. Learn more →
