The Doutanuki school is said to be a descendant of the Enju clan in Higo Province, and was discovered and patronized by Kiyomasa Kato, who became the feudal lord in the 14th year of the Tensho era in the area of Higo Kikuchi.

Swordsmiths of this school include Kouzunosuke, Hyōbu, Samanosuke, and Masakuni. It is said that Kiyomasa Kato used Doutanuki to lend swords not only to his military commanders but also to his foot soldiers, and it is said that Kumamoto Castle was equipped with these Doutanuki, but most of them were unsigned, and even if they were included, they only had numbers.

After the Kato clan reformed, the Hosokawa family, which newly entered the castle, put heavy use of Bungo blacksmithing, and the Doutanuki school declined for a while, but it flourished until the Shinshintou era, and although it was a practical sword, it gained popularity for its sharpness.
This sword has Shizumigokoro-Gunome-midare-yaki, with a sword that seems to cut in any way, Jigane with Midare-Utsuri-tatsu, Yubashiri, Tobiyaki-shikirini-kakari, Gunome, There are many Ashi and You, Small-Nie-tsuki, Kinsuji and Sunagashi-kakaru It works well in sword.
