is a name of a Japanese school of swordsmiths from Higo province who produced swords in the Bizen tradition during the feudal period of Japan.
==Dotanuki School== The Dotanuki school evolved in Higo Province with its ancestry going back to the famous "Enju Kunimura" (延寿 国村). Enju Kunimura founded the Higo Enju school in approximately 1305. Kunimura was born in Yamato province to the swordsmith Hiromura. He moved to Yamashiro province, became a student of Rai Kuniyuki, and later married Kuniyuki's daughter. Kunimura then moved to Higo and founded the Enju school. There are only six blades by Kunimura known to exist.
