Note:
In 1906, Miyamoto Kanenori became one of the first two swordsmiths to be appointed to the prestigious order of the Teishitsu Gigeiin (Artist-Craftsman to the Imperial Household), which was the precursor to today's Ningen Kokuho (Living National Treasure). As a student of Yokoyama Sukekane, Miyamoto Kanenori forged a blade for Emperor Komei in 1866, and went on to forge blades for the Meiji and Taisho Emperors as well.
1906年，宫本兼则成为首批两位获任“帝室技艺员”（Teishitsu Gigeiin，皇室工艺师）称号的刀匠之一，该荣誉为现今“人间国宝”（Ningen Kokuho）的前身。作为横山助兼的弟子，宫本兼则于1866年为孝明天皇打造了一把刀，之后又为明治天皇及大正天皇打造刀剑，享有极高声誉。
