Horikawa Kunihiro (d. 1614) was the foremost pupil of Umetada Myoju, and worked in Kyoto for some years. His diverse styles follow the Yamashiro, Mino, and especially the Soshu koto traditions. In 1590 he received the title Shinano no kami. He taught many important early shinto smiths, including Izumi no kami Kunisada, Dewa daijo Fujiwara Kunimichi, Echigo no kami Kunitomo, Horikawa Kuniyasu and Heianjo Hiroyuki, and there are said to have been three further generations of his family.
