He celebrated his coming-of-age at [[Shinra Zenshindo|Shinra Zenshindô]], a shrine dedicated to a god from [[Silla]] (Korea), on the grounds of [[Miidera]] temple in what is today [[Shiga prefecture]]. In connection with that, he took on the name Shinra Saburô.

Yoshimitsu is said to have used a sword made by Ohara Sanemori (796-861; date debated).
