HATAKEDA blades are similar to YOSHIOKA ICHIMONJI. Not 
particularly deep KOSHIZORI with narrow SHINOGI-JI and IKUBI 
KISSAKI. In fine KO-MOKUME or ITAME with O-HADA. JUKA and KAWAZU
CHOJI-MIDARE with doubled, square-like CHOJI. SAKA-ASHI. TAMA and
TSUYU NIE. Upper may seem somewhat vacant but blades do not have
the OSAFUNE MONOUCHI.

SHINOGI-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE, mid-KAMAKURA, wide TACHI SUGATA. The shallow curve and broad, powerful upper support its large IKUBI-style CHU-KISSAKI.
Running ITAME HADA sees MIDARE-UTSURI condensing in steady cascades. The upper is a low flow of GUNOME and KO-CHOJI MIDARE with occasional juts, TAMA and lonely TOBI whisper of missing KAWAZU. The YAKIBA rises in the mid as pointed peaks pull fat GUNOME into bent postures. Their ardent debate settles quickly: High standing OBUSA, KO-CHOJI and GUNOME compete while subtle SHIMA-BA tease at tops. The HABUCHI rides a CHU-width through the lower to find SUNAGASHI and KINSUJI searching the HABAKI-MOTO.
A single invection creates two large GUNOME nodules in the wide KO-MARU BOSHI. Very slight KAERI.
SURIAGE KIRI-JIRI NAKAGO has four MEKUGI-ANA and his stylized, three-character MEI:

           MIDARE BA, and with time turns to slightly undulating
           MIDARE patterns of GUNOME-CHOJI BA as was popular
           towards SHO-O - the beginning of late-KAMAKURA.

SANEMORI SHO-O (t: MORIIYE, f: IYESUKE): YAJIRO. Born: RYAKU-NIN
        1238. Work seen from BUN-EI 1264 to SHO-AN 1299. 
        SAKONnoSUKE and UMAnoSUKE (left and right). His style
        resembles that of MORIIYE. NIOI is tightly defined. 
        Early work: Dynamic O-CHOJI, KAWAZU mix typical of 
        mid-KAMAKURA ICHIMONJI styles. Later work accrues a 
        uniformity, look for even height and uniform feel to 
        GUNOME-CHOJI MIDARE HA with KO-ASHI defining. Note: 
        The marked addition of GUNOME figures, and a quieting 
        from the pronounced ICHIMONJI CHOJI patterns popularized
        of KEN-CHO 1249 are a SHO-O 1288, and forward, cross 
        provincial sign-post. GUNOME was the new national trend.
        SOSHU would soon blend it into their complex undulating 
        patterns. His long signature is said to be earlier.

SHINOGI-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE, mid to late KAMAKURA transition, KOSHIZORI TACHI. Full NIKU and wide upper hold a broad and round IKUBI CHU-KISSAKI. BO-HI falls from KO-SHINOGI into the NAKAGO. Its wide MOTO-HABA gives the broad blade, a wide FUNBARI where MIDARE-UTSURI dances over ITAME HADA through the JI. 
       
Occasional TAMA and TOBI ride the shoulders of never repeating KO-CHOJI and KO-GUNOME in a tightly defined CHU-width below the MONOUCHI. A subtle JUKA tends the rising crowd in the mid. YO cuts dimples into blocks of CHOJI that stand and stumble, while KAWAZU clings motionless. CHOJI becomes SAKA and a little slurred in the lower.

The CHU-width MIDARE-KOMI BOSHI finds KO-MARU.

A slight back-tilt below the HABAKI adjusts arc for this UBU, two MEKUGI-ANA, KURI-JIRI NAKAGO.
