A Juhin-Kenzoku was a vassal family that served a Great Clan as a quartemaster or forging family. They were usually tasked with forging both weapons and armor that a daimyo gave to his followers, as well as tasked with keeping track of whatever item they forged, noting its possessors and any name given to the weapon or armor. If an item changed hands, official papers should be sent to the vassal family for them to update their records.

The Juhin-Kenzoku kept a close kinship with one another, because their purpose was very similar and they all took their duty very seriously.

The following families of the Great Clans were known for primarily forging armor: [1]

Crab Clan[]

Crane Clan[]

Dragon Clan[]

Lion Clan[]

Mantis Clan[]

  • Chirichi family, vassal of the Yoritomo family, best known for their heavy armour that could be removed much faster than normal, useful if a samurai falls overboard.

Phoenix Clan[]

Scorpion family[]

Spider Clan[]

Unicorn Clan[]
