TACHI and TANTO. (YASU) Early: HEIAN style - deeply curved, narrow-bladed KOSHIZORI with FUNBARI to KO-KISSAKI. Then: KAMAKURA SHO-GEN style - stronger "upper" with CHU-KISSAKI. Born: 1126. UEMON no SUKE. KO-ITAME/MOKUME mix that stands. JI-NIE and CHIKEI in CHIJI-MEN "Bunched-thread" with SUMI-HADA - excellent. KO-NIE and NIOI SUGUHA has occasional SAKA-ASHI. AOE SUGU style where defined NIOI creates an inner pattern within the YAKIBA. The inner pattern of SADATSUGU may vary, - with complexity usually held in reserve. SAKA- ASHI KO-CHOJI. SAKA-CHOJI KO-MIDARE with mixed GUNOME, ASHI and YO. HAMON has been described as "Splendid." BOSHI: ASAKI-NOTARE KO-MARU, slight KAERI or MIDARE with TOGARI KAERI in which NIOI falls deeply.

KOKUHO SADATSUGU 
          NAGASA: 2 SHAKU 5.4 SUN             MOTO-HABA: 9.4 SUN
            SORI: 8 BU                        SAKI-HABA: 5.8 SUN

          SHINOGI-TSUKURI, IHORI-MUNE, KOSHIZORI TACHI. FUNBARI
          narrows to a small KO-KISSAKI. Standing KO-ITAME HADA
          has the CHIJI-MEN (skeined) folding pattern with SUMI-
          HADA and JI-NIE. SUGUHA pours from the BOSHI. This
          relaxed KO-MIDARE finds small crevasses and KO-CHOJI
          competing to break the line. Tightly defined NIOI and
          KO-ASHI meet long striations which walk and fall within
          the YAKIBA. Hard and soft KINSUJI twist with crumbling
          NIOI to paint ribbons in rapids through the widening
          lower. Fine KO-NIE is clear. 
          BOSHI: SUGU to a KO-MARU peak. The long, curved UBU
          NAKAGO has one MEKUGI-ANA and resolves to a small JIRI.
