ayasugi hada in tanto by Shintogo Kunimitsu?

[Tokaido]

Dear friends of the nihonto,

while browsing some of the old issues of the Token Bijutsu, I stumbled on a Shintogo Kunimistu Tanto (TB No 574) with a description of *nagare hada like asaysugi hada*.

Since there is a foto of the blade, I realised a *very slightly* ondulating hada.

Looking up other descriptions of Kunimitsu's tanto, I found several sources stating that *it is typical for SK to show some ayasugi like hada*.

Since I had only hands-on-access to 3 different Kunimitsu tanto yet, I did not see his ayasugi in person. Or at least I did not recognise it

Can anyone of you confirm the ayasugi hada in Kunimitsu tanto from your experience? Are there any good fotos availiable showing this feature in his work?

 

Greetings
