Working at Yoshioka in Bizen Province, this branch of the Ichimonji lineage arose toward the close of the Kamakura period (its dated works begin in the late thirteenth century) and carried the tradition forward into the Nanbokuchō era. It took shape as the successor to the Fukuoka Ichimonji once that earlier group had passed its apex, and the published sources rank it directly behind Fukuoka among the Ichimonji branches in both prosperity and quality.
