Okura Hachiemon Family

[Okura Yaemon Family]
As the head of the branch family, it had its own repertoire and scripts, and formed a school of its own. Toraakira's younger brother, Kiyotora, was the first, and during the reign of the third Tokitora, he was transferred to the Kongo-za and moved to Edo. The seventh Tomitsu and others succeeded him, but the school died out during the Meiji period.
