Hi Steven,

I know what it' is like to have an "unknown" smith. I your case there is little known beyond.his name and location., but I did find this...

Looking at the 'Nihon Gendaito Shoshin' Chap. IV p.10 and Addenda p.7 he was KOBAYASHI (Shigenori) NARIYUKI of Tokushima. He studied under Morita Masamichi of Kyoto. This Masamichi was a student along with Sumitani Masamine, both students  of Sakurai Masayuki of the Sakurai school.

Not much, but it might give you some leads...

Are you referring to the series of articles written by Uchiyama Hiroshi 内山汎, entitled Nihon gendaitō shōshi 日本現代刀小史, that appeared in the journal Tōken Bijutsu 刀剣美術?

Thank you for the prompt reply.  I just wanted to make sure that you were not referring to a book I was unaware of.
