Thanks for looking guys. I went over to Krausewerks, in the bay area yesterday, since we're still a few weeks out for the next club meeting. Hoping to find some sort of information but wasn't able to find anything on this smith (also, I had my translation incorrect as well, kept coming up with Tokugawa Ieshige in the google searches). All in all, this sword was special enough in a sense that I went to the show with my 11 year old son (if you were there, you probably saw us circling a bunch of times, then sitting down then circling some more). He has been trying to learn like me and we both bargained together to get this one on the cheap side ( literally talked to the dealer while he was packing to catch his plane).
We both liked the shape and generally had a good time "researching" this one up for the past week which consisted mostly on how to take care of it, oiling and wiping it down and basic etiquette (passing it to one another, careful not to talk so you don't spit on the blade etc).
Hopefully you guys can help me get more info about this and thanks for everything so far.
