Yoshiomi? Double Check me Please!

I think this is Yoshiomi, but Sesko has him as 

YOSHIOMI (義臣), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – “Yoshiomi” (義臣), real name Takeyama Kazuo (武山数男), born April 3rd 1910, he was the younger brother of Yoshinao (義尚) and worked as guntō smith, ryōkō no retsu (Akihide)

 

But this looks like "Takamasa" rather than Takayama 武山

Bruce,

I am not an expert, but I think this was indeed meant to be read as YAMA.

Well by golly, after you said that, I checked the Japaneseswordindex.com Oshigata page and it's a match!  Just can't imagine he was cutting "Yama" this way, but he did.
