I’ve never seen this mei before. It’s on the default ura side. The tsuba aesthetic and design itself is very reminiscent of Ichijo school design so was wondering if anyone know who this craftsman might be?

Thanks! seems like Watanabe Issei was a late Edo/Meiji craftperson, student of Hayashi Masamitsu. Not rlly related to the Ichijo school however looking at the works of both Hayashi Masamitsu and Watanabe Issei their quality of work is very high.

Actually I was initially wrong, Watanabe Issei was actually part of the Ichijo school. He was a student of Funada Ikkin

Peter, I just dmed you the tsuba photos. It's an iron utsushi of Goto Ichijo's famous Juyo Bijutsuhin tsuba.
