Hi Richard

 

I think there is an example on p295 of Fujishiro shinto.

 

Page 295

YASUTSUGU EDO ROKUDAI [GENBUN 1736 MUSASHI] SHINTÔ CHÛSAKU

He was called Ippachi Mototsugu, and this was changed to Ichinojô Yasutsugu in the winter of Kyôhô Jûkyûnen (1734). There are very few works of Yasutsugu from the godai to the tenth generation.

Signature: YASUTSUGU

The AOI MON is inscribed.

It is from Fujishiro and there is the 六代

 

(I think :? )

Hi Rich,

 

I don't know how to attach a pic on this new NMB format, so I am emailing the mei which was scanned from Touken Youran Yasutsugu 六代目. Hope this will be helpful. All the best,

Ichi

Hi Henry, yes I have it, cheers mate. The mei I have is a tsuba mei and a little different, I was looking for several variations but it does not seem there are any.

 

Cheers
