Old documents record that Sanemori was a pupil of Yasutsuna of Hoki Province, but signatures on early blades listed as Important Cultural Properties and Important Art Objects are different, and it is not known how many smiths used the name. The character (victory) on the is found on other works of the Kamakura period and on blades of an Ohara Sanemori who was active around the Oei era. Homma Junji conjectures the use of the inscription "Gyonin" (also read "Yukiyoshi"), implies the name of a swordsmith-monk of either Satsuma or Bungo Province who may have been connected with Yukihira (lot 5). The and of this fine old sword are consistent with Hoki work.
