SADATOSHI JO-EI: AYANOKOJI Founder at YOJO AYANOKOJI. YATARO. 
        Buddhist name: RYOAMI. A GOJO line smith, his time was 
        the transition between early KAMAKURA and mid. Work 
        period estimated as starting around SHO-KYU 1219 and 
        continuing through the `40s, although his dates are often 
        listed as later. One source claims him a son of 
        RAI KUNIYOSHI, which goes with an attendant theory that 
        GOJO to AYANOKOJI SADATOSHI and contemporary RAI KUNIYUKI
        (AWATAGUCHI KUNIYOSHI son) traded secrets or were peers 
        as both show CHOJI patterns with distinct similarities.
        SADATOSHI has inter-linked TOBI-like JI-BA and a plainly 
        starker definition, where KUNIYUKI (as all RAI School) 
        endeavored width of YAKIBA through the BOSHI. The BOSHI 
        of KUNIYUKI and his father, KUNIYOSHI is generally smooth.
        The consistency of SADATOSHI's CHOJI line may seem broken
        from happenstantial effects at the quench. An otherwise 
        absent high-reaching CHOJI leaves dotting JI-BA to remind
        its departure. This presumed confidence has been much 
        appreciated over the years. The technique masks a YAKIBA 
        plan with a similar width to that of RAI but the SADATOSHI
        BOSHI would be not smooth. His SUGATA was made to reflect 
        a grace found of earlier pieces, while the usual KUNIYUKI 
        is solidly mid-KAMAKURA. SADATOSHI was perhaps, a little 
        earlier than RAI's KUNIYUKI. 
        SUGATA will be deep KOSHIZORI, KO-KISSAKI TACHI. Seemingly
        even, the measure shows FUNBARI. KO-KISSAKI can be an 
        elongated or reaching IKUBI. A JI-NIE veil dresses 
        standing KO-MOKUME that runs. KO-NIE in clear NIOI-FUKASHI
        presents "Flower-petal" KO-CHOJI or KO-GUNOME that is 
        KO-MIDARE. HAMON shows small TOBI-YAKI that seem connected 
        together. MEI: SADA is large, TOSHI - small. The SADA 
        appears as though someone erased its left side.

Emperor MEIJI's favorite. Style is old and classic, a normal width coupled to great length confuses one's perception. BO-HI vanquishes the entire SHINOGI-JI - save a small wedge that tributes the KO-SHINOGI. The widening mid sees NIOI NIJU doubling within DAI-BO CHOJI columns and occasional jutting GUNOME that push through the crush of a crowded and disintegrating KO-CHOJI line. RAI style JI-BA boulders demand admittance. 
The upper  ~ Only remnants of an architecture remain... above an inner line that inherited its place: TOBI and SHIMA-BA hang to hint the vacant skeleton of a high CHOJI that failed to take. Strings of NIOI-HOTSURE connect dotting TOBI hanging through the MONOUCHI, while a torturous HAMON hugs the HA and battles underneath. KINSUJI carves gashes across KO-ASHI gaps. 

The BOSHI is debris piled against the FUKURA with defused TOBI suspended above. The relaxed cloud drifts over the KO-SHINOGI to the MUNE creating the KAERI of a now lost ghost.
