I've had this tsuba for some years, but far too difficult for me to figure out the mei. Two kanji and a kaō, even hard to take in photo.

Here my best pictures, obtained trough a flatbed scanner.
Thank you for any input.

When I saw the signature I first thought of Jakushi, but this isn't Jakushi.

However, the second kanji looks amazingly like the sōsho version of Jaku (若). I can't read the first character. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a smith whose second syllable/character is jaku/waka?
