Appraisal Quiz #667


Previous answer is
  Mumei Tametsugu
無銘(伝為継)

Special Feature:He was called as a pupil of Norishige, or the son of Gono
Yoshihiro(Tametsugu), apparently this work resembles the
characteristics of Norishige, like Jigane or Hamon, in my opinion he
should be a pupil of Norishige.
