Previous answer is
Nobukuni (Saemonjo)
Special feature: Nobukuni is a sword smith during Nanbokucho period to middle Muromachi period.
His blades are highly regarded since that time.
We are sure that this Nobukuni is Saemonjo without doubt.
The shape is elegant. Unfortunately there are some rough texture.
But Nobukuni’s blades and Rai school’s blades tend that.
