HIROMITSU EN-BUN (t: MASAMUNE): KYUROJIRO. 
        Wide bladed, MITSU-MUNE KO-WAKIZASHI, the classic thin 
        O-TANTO of NAMBOKU, the contribution and always expected
        SOSHU KANTEI point. NIKU is SUKUNAKU or slight and BO-HI
        wide groove will be placed near the MUNE as part of his 
        normal HIRA-TSUKURI, SAKIZORI SUGATA. ITAME HADA shows 
        CHIKEI and JI-NIE. YUBASHIRI and TAMA set themselves 
        apart from scattered TOBI-YAKI of medium sized NIE that
        coordinates with pattern. Width is the overall 
        impression of NIE DEKI O-GUNOME MIDARE BA occupying the
        upper while a smaller version runs in a retiring 
        YAKIDASHI. KUDARIBA or KUDARI-ASHI are an expected 
        oblique pattern of SAKA-GUNOME that is laying-over or 
        deflated looking GUNOME figures. ORIGANE, spiring 
        KINSUJI will be seen curling into the JI. NIE chases 
        SUNAGASHI, KINSUJI and INAZUMA.
        BOSHI is MIDARE-KOMI to TOGARI and long fall KAERI.
