TOMOYASU EI-NIN: RAI. MOKUME HADA. SUGUHA and GUNOME to CHOJI BA
        with ASHI. TOMOYASU in O-AN 1368 as well.

TOMOMITSU TOKU-JI (f: KUNITOSHI):  NOTARE-MIDARE or KO-MIDARE BA
        with ASHI.

TOMOKUNI SHO-WA (f: KUNITOSHI, br: KUNIZANE): Work appears from
        TOKU-JI 1306 to GEN-KO 1331 and late KAMAKURA to early
        NAMBOKUCHO SUGATA is expected. However, most swords are 
        presently altered. A repeating theme found in the 
        descendent lines of RAI KUNITOSHI and RYOKAI is short
        swords in KANMURI-OTOSHI. There are KANMURI TANTO and 
        HIRA-TSUKURI KO-WAKIZASHI. An 8 SUN MU-SORI TANTO was 
        made. KO-ITAME has JI-NIE and RAI-style patching. SUGU 
        ASAKI-NOTARE lashes KO-ASHI defined KO-GUNOME together.
        NIJUBA mixes with SUNAGASHI. KO-NIE can embrace ASHI. 
        Look for UCHINOKE doubling. Signed pieces, especially 
        with rough HADA, should remind one to think of later 
        generations.

KUNIMUNE BUN-WA (t: TOMOKUNI): This name is also listed as a son
        of RAI KUNITOSHI from GEN-O 1319. However, there is 
        possibly only one KUNIMUNE. A HIRA-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE 
        8.9 SUN, slightly curved NAMBOKUCHO TANTO places this
        TOMOKUNI student to BUN-WA 1352. SHIRA-KE KO-ITAME with
        MASAME has JI-NIE. His GUNOME seems regularly set.
        SUNAGASHI runs in deep NIOI. BOSHI: NOTARE to KO-MARU.

KUNIZANE(1) SHO-WA (f: KUNITOSHI, br: TOMOKUNI): ITAME of MASAME.
           SUGUHA with ASHI. NOTARE BA and GUNOME HA.
