Morikage Tachi Nagasa: 72.5cm
Passed down for centuries as Kanemitsu. Modern attribution to Omiya and now specified to Morikage. Shinogi-tsukuri, Ihori-mune Nambokucho Sugata, strong, little curve and O-Kissaki. Bo-Hi with RenBi. Standing Mokume, Itame Hada mix has JiNie and defined Chikei. Nie Utsuri becomes most pronounced in the lower. Hamon shows an active and dynamic rise and fall becoming deeper and stronger through the lower. High-rising and complex O-Gunome and Choji mounds of Ko-Nie and Nioi-Fukashi are slightly Saka leaning. Long running Kinsuji and striating Sunagashi combs through tops and sweeps Nijuba and Sanjuba in places. Some Smoke Togari in the upper. Midare-Komi and Sunagashi Boshi. Slight Kaeri. O-Suriage Nakago has two Mekugi-ana. |

KATAOCHI "Stooped shoulders" GUNOME HA said to resemble KANEMITSU. Early O-KANEMITSU's KATAOCHI resembles his father KAGEMITSU who was it's greatest influence peddler. NOKOBA "Saw-shaped," still ringing KAGEMITSU bell, but later we find KOSHI-HIRAKI Open- troughed GUNOME/KO-CHOJI BA reported. Which is either bad reporting or a change with the times. Valleyed GUNOME- CHOJI patterns are an OEI bill. Judge examples by age. KATAOCHI giving way to KOSHI-HIRAKI. BOSHI is MIDARE-KOMI with short turnback. Long MEI in small, thick strokes.
