Jacques Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Hi, There were two Kaneaki Takatenjin. The first (Bunmei 1469) come from Mino, He has a superior work (rated jo-saku and wazamono) hamon ko- gunome midare. Style sue-seki. The second (Tenmon 1532) Called Saemonshirô, and he lived in Suruga and was better than the shodai (rated Jo-jo-saku) He worked in pure sue-seki style with a gunome midare togari hamon. Hope this can help you. Quote
