Sorry Jon I have no information on it whatsoever.ive never spent so long researching something and got so little information.i quite like the temple offering idea there is a video on YouTube where a smith makes a blade for a Shinto temple and it's the same shape as the roof but I struggle with the idea of waki sized blades as temple offerings in the video it was a big blade tachi size.thanks paul.sorry for my confusion I didn't realise the first picture is also my sword and your picture's are correct

Thanks Alexi there's a few there I have not seen I've seen iyetsugu and thought it could be ietsugu of the 3 smiths I found iye358 signed with small mei I think the mei on my blade is quite small.its a shame the blade is out of polish and not revealing any more info.this is the first translation I've got right and no one's said gimei so a good day for me.thanks again for you help
