    Update includes:

    Kakihan

    -- Added a kao by swordsmith "SA" from the 13-1400's
    -- Grouped Yasuhiro who also signed as Moritaka, plus a Moritaka with a different kao
    -- Grouped Masahide examples of kakihan, kokuin, and both

    March 2024 Updated version available:

    Link at top goes to the new version.

    Did some housekeeping:
    Took Kikumon and Buddhist stamps out of the Army Section and grouped them with the Bonji in their own place
    Added a couple Kakihan and 4 Cut Tester kao; added a stamped mei for tester cutter Kakudo
    Expanded the discussion/history behind the 1 Leaf Aoi emblem
    Improved display and discussion of the Iida latch markings
    Added the small star on seppa and a shop stamp on kyugunto to the Unknown section

    So, not a big update.

    Enjoy!
