Although the data shows that the fourth generation Hidari-Hisahiro mark was inherited by the First generation Hisasaku. But this chisel is more like the work of the early second generation Hisasaku, Or maybe it was made by the first and second generation Hisasaku working together. It is more precise than Hisasaku Ⅱ later works. It may also be that the owner of Suiheya shop asked the Hisasaku blacksmith to improve the precision of the production. A similar situation also occurred with the second generation Kiyotada blacksmith.
