While many signed works exhibit a calm suguha-style hamon, unsigned blades attributed to \u014cmiya often feature mixture of Sousyu and Bizen style and vibrant workmanship with nioi-based gunome-ch\u014dji midare. This discrepancy is believed to result from the confusion between the Bizen swordsmiths \u014cmiya Morikage and Osafune Morikage.
