We give a characterization of a finite-dimensional commuting square of C*-algebras that produces a hyperfinite type II_1 subfactor of finite index and finite depth in terms of Morita equivalent unitary fusion categories. This type of commuting squares were studied by N. Sato, and we show that a slight generalization of his construction covers the fully general case of such commuting squares. We also give a characterization of such a commuting square that produces a given hyperfinite type II_1 subfactor of finite index and finite depth.
