Hi Gary. I would say this is a pretty close fit! Owari.

I got the other side for you as well.

For comparison there is this one - same theme just different layout.

Nice examples. No Tsurumaki on yours though, Dale.

Hi Gary. This was the one I was going to buy. I checked it out and the next day it had been sold. Good for you.

Talking of Tsurumaki I have one with two bow strings in my box of tricks - and no bow!

I would not say Owari. Its the same motiv yes but i didn't like the iron and the cut outs. Best guess is very late shoami.

I liked the design , it's a bit darker in hand than what the photo depicted. It looks like good iron. Sorry you missed it , I think you may have liked it as well.
