Some never used it, and other works were handed down ubu but with no signature at all. NBTHK Token Bijutsu, In the mid-Kamakura period, master smiths such as Yoshifusa, Sukezane, and Norifusa infused the highest level of art into their work. Kosshijutsu is often translated simply as “approach to soft tissue and nerve points, consisting of oblique movements” or something similar, but this just scratches the surface. The name of the Ichimonji school comes from the habit developed by the early Fukuoka-Ichimonji smiths of signing their blades with the single character “ichi” (一), indicating the numeral “one.” Perhaps its bold meaning and intention remains rather obvious seven centuries later as human nature does not change that much, though times do.

Norifusa (則房) was with Sukezane (助真) and Yoshifusa (吉房) one of the most representative mid-Kamakura period Ichimonji School masters who are known for hardening in a flamboyant chōji-midare. Amongst the smiths of the Fukuoka-Ichimonji school, Yoshifusa, Sukezane and Norifusa are superior to other smiths of the school in skill and show conspicuous characteristics in their works. according to the wiki, the name of the sword that genji wields is Ryūichi moji, which is a rough translation of Ryūichi meaning first son of the dragon and moji literally meaning a letter or a character.
