Kiku-Ichimonji?

[John A Stuart]

Here is a pic that has Kiku-Ichimon something. I don't think it is a legit or even a real mei, but, what is the last kanji? 菊一文 is readable, 珏 is unlikely, but, looks like what it is. Curious. John

Close... its 珠 - tama

There was that suggestion. I thought they meant 玉 I hadn't thought 球 nor 珠. I wonder what this is supposed to mean? John

Seems to be a reference to an early swordsmith - Kanenaga, whose heritage is now claimed by a knife manufacturer in Japan.
