YOSHIMITSU SHO-AN (t: AWATAGUCHI MASAMITSU): KANBARA JU. Studied
SENJUIN and TEGAI traditions. Some sight similarity of
styles to claim him the same man as SENJUIN YOSHIMITSU.
An AWATAGUCHI student, his blades have been confused
with AWATAGUCHI YOSHIMITSU. Many were gift swords, and
so, were attributed as the work of the latter. TOSA
YOSHIMITSU made unusually thick TANTO where the round
FUKURA has an abrupt turn to the point. YOWAI MOKUME with
MASAME has JI-NIE. Although a tired piece will obscure,
color and moisture of TOSA JI-NIE will not compare with
AWATAGUCHI YOSHIMITSU. NIE HOSO-SUGUHA has strays.
Note: SENJUIN YOSHIMITSU is an uneven GUNOME-MIDARE.
See YAMATO
YOSHIMITSU(6) BUN-MEI:KATANA and thick,narrow UCHIZORI TANTO.
Bright standing ITAME with MASAME that runs. KO-NIE HOSO-
SUGU NOTARE BA or GUNOME NOTARE mix.
