SADATSUGU: "Ten Sons" SHO-GEN GOBAN - 2nd month. TACHI and TANTO.
(YASU) Early: HEIAN style - deeply curved, narrow-bladed
KOSHIZORI with FUNBARI to KO-KISSAKI.
Then: KAMAKURA SHO-GEN style - stronger "upper"
with CHU-KISSAKI.
Born: 1126. UEMON no SUKE.
KO-ITAME/MOKUMEmix that stands. JI-NIE and CHIKEI in
CHIJI-MEN "Bunched-thread" with SUMI-HADA - excellent.
KO-NIE and NIOI SUGUHA has occasional SAKA-ASHI. AOE
SUGU style where defined NIOI creates an inner pattern
within the YAKIBA. The inner pattern of SADATSUGU may
vary, - with complexity usually held in reserve. SAKA-
ASHI KO-CHOJI. SAKA-CHOJI KO-MIDARE with mixed GUNOME,
ASHI and YO. HAMON has been described as "Splendid."
BOSHI: ASAKI-NOTARE KO-MARU, slight KAERI or MIDARE

NAGASA: 2 SHAKU 5.4 SUN MOTO-HABA: 9.4 SUN
SORI: 8 BU SAKI-HABA: 5.8 SUN
NAKAGO: 6.1 SUN
SHINOGI-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE, KOSHIZORI TACHI. FUNBARI
narrows to a small KO-KISSAKI. Standing KO-ITAME HADA
has the CHIJI-MEN (skeined) folding pattern with SUMI-
HADA and JI-NIE. SUGUHA pours from the BOSHI. This
relaxed KO-MIDARE finds small crevasses and KO-CHOJI
competing to break the line. Tightly defined NIOI and
KO-ASHI meet long striations which walk and fall within
the YAKIBA. Hard and soft KINSUJI twist with crumbling
NIOI to paint ribbons in rapids through the widening
lower. Fine KO-NIE is clear.
BOSHI: SUGU to a KO-MARU peak. The long, curved UBU
NAKAGO has one MEKUGI-ANA and resolves to a small JIRI.
