The Koami family is one of the most famous dynasties of lacquerers, founded according to tradition by Docho (Michinaga, 1410-1479) in 1429. The family worked extensively for the court and the shogunate until well into the 19
th
century and had considerable influence on the development of lacquer art through its leadership of the teams of craftsmen that worked on important shrines and palaces and other national projects. The early family masters are recorded as having used the designs of such painters as Tosa Mitsunobu (1434-1525) and Sesshu (21420-15065).
