Sesshu ju Yamato ___(ikakire)

No signature found for any Sesshu ju Yamato smiths so far. Any ideas?

Could Yamato be daijo?

Any othe guesses? I can't match a smith at this point on the nihonto club mei database.

Could Yamato be daijo?

No.

Try Yamato no Kami Yoshimichi. Havent studied the mei so dont know if legit.

It looking like a possible match for.

城州住大和大掾藤原忠次

城州 ≠　摂州

For what it is worth there is a smith Kuniteru ( Ku 659 in the old Hawley ) working in Settsu circa 1688 who had the title Yamato no kami . I can find no oshigata of his mei for comparison . Hawley says that he is the same smith as Ise no kami Kuniteru however this Kuniteru's mei shows no similarities to your one.
