Nagasa 9 sun 5 bu. The first generation Sanjo Yoshinori was a Yamashiro Province swordsmith from around the Oei era (circa 1400) (615 years ago). This tanto exhibits a beautiful sugata with a long dimension typical of its period. The mune is a mitsumune (shin-no-mune). The jigane is itame-hada mixed with mokume-hada with jinie. The hamon is gunome-midare with a deep nioi-guchi, tempered with a spirited yet elegant presence that is truly splendid. The boshi is midare-komi with a tsukiage tip, which is also magnificent. The horimono consists of a Bonji on the omote and a so-no-kenmakiryu on the ura, executed with skillful and masterful carving. It is a truly charming tanto. This tanto is a very precious and old piece by Sanjo Yoshinori, whose extant works are few. It is offered this time at a special discount price.

The Heianjō school (平安城) of swordsmiths represents the principal lineage of Kyōto sword production during the Muromachi period. "Heianjō" is the classical name for Kyōto (Heian-kyō), and the school's smiths — resident in the Sanjō district of the capital — signed variously with the 平安城 (Heianjō) and 三条 (Sanjō) prefixes, a usage that has often caused them to be confused with the far earlier Sanjō school of Munechika.
