NAGAMORI(3) EI-SHO: HIRA-TAKADA. Noted as the highest skilled of
        the HIRA-TAKADA smiths. Thought to have first signed
        YOSHIMORI and MOTOSUKE. There is a conflicting study of
        date and signature that casts doubts. JI-NIE covers 
        standing "Turbid-white" SHIRA-KERU ITAME that runs. 
        Strong BO-UTSURI. KO-NIE SUGU, NOTARE or GUNOME-CHOJI

SHIZUMORI MEI-O: Under HO-TOKU NAGAMORI. Starts in O-NIN 1467. A
        confusion of dates arise as SHIZUMORI is the noted source
        of the SHIZU name passed among the SUE-TAKADA. It is said
        it was conferred by OTOMO YOSHISHIZU (who became SORIN, 
        the OTOMO marshaller of KYUSHU). However, his birth in 
        1530 prevents his being a provider of name before that 
        time. SUGU KO-MIDARE in tightly defined NIOI. Second man
        marks EI-SHO 1504 to TEN-MON 1532.

Bright, clear steel, typical of the Fujiwara group. Itame, Mokume mix with Jinie is translucent.
