Previous answer is
Yasuyoshi
安吉
Special feature: The son of Osa. He is said to have moved from Chikuzen to Choshu.
It is because we can see the same Mei on the Tanto(Juyo Artwork)
that are made with production date of Shohei 17 and Mei of “Choshu Ju Yasuyoshi”,
as his general Yasuyoshi Mei. Works made after that and with Mei “Choshu
Ju Yasuyoshi”, what we could find is made with the production date of Eiwa.
Works with production date of Ouei are controversy, some people say
they are made by later generations, and others say by him.
This work is an early work by Yasuyoshi, and thought to
be made in the late Nambokucho period.
