In Chikuzen Province, on the northern coast of Kyushu, the Sa school (左, the Samonji line) took shape in the early Nanbokucho period as a deliberate break with the Kyushu work that came before it. Its founder, the smith who cut the single character 左 on his tang, is read in the published sources as Saemon Saburo, commonly called O-Sa or Samonji; he is placed as the grandson of Sairen and son of Jitsua, the old Chikuzen line whose steel, in the words the NBTHK restates blade after blade, ran sunken and rustic in a restrained suguha inherited from Yamato.
