Standing ITAME-HADA shows CHIKEI under strong JI-NIE. KINSUJI cuts ASHI within KO-NIE FUKASHI KO-MIDARE or GUNOME-MIDARE that holds to a gentle NOTARE roll. YAKIBA is clear and may flare outside the HAMON as TOBI-YAKI or SHIMA-BA. Or in the JI as YUBASHIRI. KINSUJI "feet" face each other from the reach of falling ASHI. In the classic view, these are called SAGARI-ASHI "falling" and AGARI-ASHI "rising." They may connect forming long KINSUJI. SUGUHA to KO-MARU BOSHI or perhaps MIDARE with TOGARI-KAERI. Carved HI and HORIMONO of BONJI, KEN or GOMABASHI, usually along the MUNE. His works of TANTO having GUNOME within an ASAKI-NOTARE line reflects his SOSHU School experience.

KOKUHO RAI KUNITSUGU
HIRA-TSUKURI, MITSU-MUNE, slight SORI. A groove-lined BO-HI mimics an absent SHINOGI enhancing the stately appearance which follows its wide, straight lines. The very fine ITAME HADA has CHIKEI and clear, profuse JI-NIE. TOGARI finds roosts on uneven GUNOME. KINSUJI and SUNAGASHI draw a flat plain through far and near jutting rises. TAMA rolls down the BOSHI while SHIMA-BA hangs lazily. KINSUJI furrows the MONOUCHI. KO-MARU pulls a reticent KAERI onto the MUNE. UBU NAKAGO with two MEKUGI-ANA. Signed in the lower:RAI KUNITSUGU |
