Japanese smoothing planes - camber?

For those of you that use japanese style plane irons, do you hone them
with a camber, or ease the corners a little? Thanks.

I think it depends on the planes usage, on a smoother I tend to ease the
corners, which will minimize the plane tracks, on a larger plane made for
taking thicker shavings I will try to hone the camber in.....
