Thereafter, for five generations until around the Tenmei era, the family served the Owari Tokugawa clan and gained considerable renown. The Jumyo school is a distinguished line of swordsmiths whose history spans from the late Kamakura period through to the late Edo period, including the shinshinto era. The name "Jumyo" itself is a wordplay meaning "long life, " making it an especially auspicious and felicitous name. For this reason, Jumyo swords were highly prized among the warrior class of the time and were often presented as gifts or used as swords for coming-of-age ceremonies (genpuku).
