Previous answer is
Echizen Kami Fujiwara Kunitsugu/Motte Nanbantetsu
Special feature : Kunitsugu, born in Higo province went to Kyoto and learned under Dewa Daijo Fujiwara Kunimichi in Yamashiro province.
It is thought that they worked together for a long period of time and several collaborations still survive.
Kunitsugu’s signed pieces are comparatively rare. According to the inscription on the revere side of the tang, he forged this katana by imported iron at that time.
This is the most magnificent and excellent Kunitsugu’s sword we have ever seen.
