Antique Nihonto - Tanto in Shirasaya, signed Yoshimitsu (Tosa, Unverified)

Yoshimitsu was the oldest recorded swordsmith in Tosa Province (modern-day Kōchi Prefecture). The Yoshimitsu lineage began in 1306 (late Kamakura period, Tokuj era) and continued for seven generations until the Daiei eras (early 16th century, late-Muromachi period). The first-generation Yoshimitsu is believed to have been influenced by either the Awataguchi Masamitsu school from Yamashiro, or possibly the Senjuin or Tegai schools from Yamato.

His works are known for their slender shape and thick kasane, a characteristic construction style. Most of his surviving works are tantō.
