"The Ten Students"
CHOGI KO-EI (f: MITSUNAGA, grf: SANENAGA): His father will be in
        the style of SANENAGA. Originally NAGAYOSHI, his skill 
        and resulting fame earned him the reverential, Chinese 
        pronunciation of CHOGI. Born: SHO-O 1288, and died in 
        KEN-TOKU 1370. TOZAEMON. One theory has this one long 
        career, with a marked decline centered about KO-RYAKU 
        1379. Most writing places SHO-HEI 1346 to EN-BUN 1356 
        periods for expected pieces. DAITO are rare, TANTO 
        plentiful. NAMBOKUCHO wide TACHI with O-KISSAKI and 
        NAGAMAKI. TANTO are wide and comparatively small. 
-Early: NIOI HAMON. MOKUME HADA under standing UTSURI. 
-Later: NIE-DEKI with JI-NIE and CHIKEI tracing grain.
        GUNOME-MIDARE swings on wide undulations of the YAKIBA.
        TEI-JI 1362 period finds NOTARE HAKO-BA resembling SENGO
        MURAMASA School (Note: Unlike CHOGI, SENGO will show 
        MASAME HADA). TOGARI pulls on O-CHOJI MIDARE BA and 
        SAKA-ASHI may be seen in KO-GUNOME MIDARE HA. Skill level
        declines in swords of KO-RYAKU 1379 and are supposed the
        work of CHOGI(2). The CHOGI MEI is wide and appears 
        stretched sideways, as if a roller had squeezed or 
        smeared normal characters across the tang to the right. 
        BOSHI: MIDARE. KO-MARU at the head. See BUNKAZAI CHOGI

Hachisuka Chogi     NAGASA: 2 SHAKU 3.6 SUN         MOTO-HABA: 1 SUN 3 RIN       SORI: 5 BU                    SAKI-HABA: 8 BU     NAKAGO: 7 SUN     A possession of the HACHISUKA of TOKUSHIMA.     SHINOGI-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE, wide TACHI with little curve.     BO-HI falls into the NAKAGO from the YOKOTE. Both HI and     YOKOTE are low creating the SOSHU influenced NAMBOKUCHO      O-KISSAKI SUGATA. KO-ITAME HADA shows JI-NIE and standing MIDARE-UTSURI. Figures are a lively and dynamic mix of smooth GUNOME and KO-GUNOME mounds with compressed KO-CHOJI KO-GUNOME defined of KO-ASHI that tug in different directions. YO and NIE JI-BA dot occasionally while smoke NIOI makes as many efforts at TOGARI. The CHU-width KO-NIE and deep NIOI YAKIBA widens somewhat in the mid where GUNOME groups into peaks that push and lean. SUNAGASHI and KINSUJI corrupt at opportunistic sights. MIDARE-KOMI BOSHI takes a wide arc to the FUKURA and before walking to a slightly HAKIKAKE KO-MARU head. SURIAGE NAKAGO has four MEKUGI-ANA and a KURI-JIRI that cuts under the bottom of his MEI.                  Signature:                          BISHU OSAFUNE JU CHOGI

KANENAGA(1) TEI-JI (f: KANESHIGE): To KA-KEI 1387. Also thought
        possibly the son of NAGASHIGE. 
   There are two theories: 
        First - KANENAGA was one man working until the O-EI. 
       Second - There were two generations, the 2nd, a CHOGI 
                student who presents work in SHI-TOKU 1384 to 
                the O-EI.

           Early is NAMBOKUCHO, possibly SAKIZORI TANTO. Wide 
           bodied, thin blades. Later we see elongated SUN-NOBI 
           MU-SORI of OEI fame. Early work is seen to portray the 
           SODEN style, with TOBI-YAKI HAMON patterns appearing 
           almost HITATSURA. KO-NIE DEKI KUZURE-like GUNOME and 
           O-CHOJI MIDARE BA, SOSHU style. Most long swords are 
           O-SURIAGE. Note: Some ZAI-MEI may not fit the mold. 
           KANENAGA: Small MEI in thick strokes.
