KUNIMUNE UDA [BUNMEI 1469 ETCHÛ] SUEKOTÔ JÔSAKU

                This Ha came out of Yamato Uda‑gun, and since then this Ha has been called the Uda Ha.  [TN: The kanji for `da' in Uda‑gun is different.]  Nearly all of the works by Uda Kunimune commonly seen were made by this Kunimune, and they have a ji of mokume tachi, a hamon of nioi shimaru suguba or ko midare. Horimono are also seen.
