I have never seen j-nats of SUITA type marked as AWASE-DO. Never!

All the SUITA are usually stamped with 「巣板」 or 「本巣板」 or 「白巣板」 or just as 「スイタ」 ( SUITA written by katakana ) and like. But none of them is marked as AWASE-DO.

For example:



Some more examples are here: Suita and awasedo

The very most of AWASE-DO are from the Tomae ( 戸前 ) starta, Aisa or Namito ( 並砥 ), not from SUITA.
