HIROMITSU EN-BUN (t: MASAMUNE): KYUROJIRO. 
        Wide bladed, MITSU-MUNE HIRA-TSUKURI DAMBIRA, the 
        contribution and always expected SOSHU SUGATA. 
        NIKU is SUKUNAKU or slight and BO-HI wide groove will be 
        placed near the MUNE as part of his 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.

BUNKAZAI HIROMITSU

Bunkazai Hiromitsu
NAGASA: 42.4cm    SORI: 0.8cm

Although dates might argue, an inscription inside the Habaki states it is a part of the Go Shusen Sango, 35 swords of the Uesugi.
The most famous HIROMITSU, it is the epitome of SOSHU style NAMBOKU DAMBIRA: wide blade, elongated KISSAKI, even, shallow curvature HIRA-TSUKURI with MITSU-MUNE.
The swirling MOKUME HADA shows JI-NIE under the most famous and defining example of HITATSURA. Every combination of figure offer themselves in harmony while islands of silk blow like snow.
DAIBO-rises push for position in the upper above eroding KINSUJI and NIE.
MIDARE-KAERI is a long fall.
UBU, two MEGUKI-ANA, SOSHU NAKAGO drops quickly to a small KURI-JIRI.

NAGASA: 34.7cm SORI: 0.6cm

HIRA-TSUKURI, MITSU-MUNE DAMBIRA wide and thin with an elongated KISSAKI.
Running ITAME finds O-HADA with JI-NIE and CHIKEI. A raging battle of GUMONE-CHOJI and KINSUJI throws blurred figures into the sky. SUNAGASHI sweeps SAGARU KO-MARU into a long fall.
GOMABASHI HORI drops into the UBU, one MEKUGI-ANA NAKAGO.
