Sukenori (助則) was a swordsmith of the Ko-Ichimonji group active in Bizen Province during the early Kamakura period, traditionally placed around the Jōkyū era (1222–1224). Reference works record him as the son of Fukuoka Ichimonji Sukemune. He is counted among the smiths appointed as imperial ban-kaji in the service of Emperor Go-Toba, a distinction shared with Sukenari — the only two Ko-Ichimonji smiths for whom extant blades bear the prefixed character "ichi" (一) above the individual name.

Sukenori's work represents the earlier phase of the Fukuoka Ichimonji school, before the flamboyant, large chōji-midare that would characterize the school's mid-Kamakura flowering. His tachi typically show a slender mihaba with ko-kissaki, preserving a strong Ko-Bizen flavor in both sugata and jiba. The kitae is itame, sometimes with a moist tendency, producing a clear jihada in which midare-utsuri appears distinctly. His hamon ranges from suguha-based compositions intermingled with ko-midare and ko-gunome — described as archaic in feeling with thickly applied ko-nie, kinsuji, and gentle utsuri — to chōji-midare with plentiful ashi and yō and a somewhat wide yakiba. The NBTHK characterizes his earlier-mode work as possessing "a restrained, understated appeal," noting that the utsuri remains "gentle and faint" in contrast to more pronounced later Ichimonji examples.

Surviving signed works by Sukenori are exceptionally rare. The three blades bearing his name show minor differences in signature style, but expert opinion holds them to be by the same hand, with the finest among them achieving "workmanship not inferior to Sukemune." His output constitutes valuable material for the study of the Ko-Ichimonji school and the transitional character of early Kamakura Bizen swordsmithing, bridging the archaic Ko-Bizen idiom and the brilliant Ichimonji tradition that would follow.
