KANESADA

KANESADA(1) BUN-MEI 1469 There has been many stories about 
      the origin of the KANESADA Line. One: they fall from 
      YAMATO KUNIFUSA through ISE. 
      KOGAWAUEMON. First generation AIZU. MINO. Work seen KOJI 
      1555. Said to have worked in RIKUOKA. 
      Several sources propose imaginative stories: One opinion has 
      him the son if the 3rd KANESADA, another is he is the son of 
      SANAMI KANENAGA. Another says KANESADA, the son of NARA SHICHIRO 
      KYUA, the HACHIYA Founder (SADA form:"TEI"), the traveler who 
      brought DARUMA School to MINO, might be the father.
      Regardless, work is noted from KO-SHO 1455 with no signatures of 
      the "NO-SADA" character form. See KANESADA(2) below.
      KANESADA(1) is late SHIZU. AKASAKA JU. Father of "NO-SADA" KANESADA. 
ITAME HADA has standing SHIRAKE-UTSURI. 
        SUGUHA and evenly set KO-GUNOME and GUNOME patterns.

KANESADA(2) EI-SHO 1504 "NO-SADA" (t: KANESADA(1): JIROZAEMON and 
      KICHIUEMON. Originally from KAI, then moved to SEKI. Seems to 
      have been adopted into the KANESADA(1) School. Up until MEI-O 1492,
      the character "SADA" is rendered in the normal "JO" form. We have 
      dated MEI in the following: 
         NOSHU SEKI JU KANESADA SAKU
         NOSHU SEKI JU KANESADA TSUKURU
      These MEI also show a SOSHO Grass-style rendering of the SEKI 
      character.

As of BUN-GI NINEN - 1502, he is using his famous "No-Sada". This is given, and pronounced in HIRAGANA, in all Japanese scholarship and texts as: NO-SADA and refers specifically to his cursive rendering of the SADA character, alone. Because of this, KANESADA(2) himself has become known as, "No-Sada"

      From EISHO he has been awarded his IZUMI-no-KAMI title, as we see 
      signatures IZUMI-no-KAMI KANESADA and IZUMI-no-KAMI FUJIWARA 
      KANESADA, all with his NO-SADA character form. 
      EI-SHO 14, we see a work for the the ISE YAMADA with KIKUMON. 
      Making different styles is his career attribute. KANESADA sword 
      style differs. One is noted in SEKI KANEMOTO style.
      KO-ITAME HADA has MASAME with JINIE and SHIRAKE-UTSURI. 
      Tight NIOI-GUCHI of wildly placed GUNOME-CHOJI MIDARE BA with small 
      TOBI-YAKI. Can have KOSHIBA. NOTARE O-MIDARE BA and TOGARI BA. 
      YAHAZU "Arrow-notch" MIDARE BA. KO-GUNOME with FUSHI knots. One has 
      very equal KO-GUNOME. 
      JIZO BOSHI and JIZO HAKIKAKE BOSHI are slightly SAAGARI: Low. 
      His are SAIJO O-WAZAMONO - supreme cutting.
