Too fuzzy picture for the second smith kanji :

 

Reads : Uji ... Saku

 

I have found a smith in kaga: Ujinari (but a big :doubt: for the nari kanji).

Guy, Orikasa in his publication 'Studies on Arms and Armour' lists many of the stirrup makers of Kaga gleaned from documents in the library at Kanazawa. Two families regularly used names starting with Uji ... The first is the Katsugi Kikumasa family who started during the tenure of Maeda Toshinaga (1562 - 1614), moving to Komatsu following the third Lord Maeda Toshitsune (1594 - 1658). The group ceased making zogan work at the end the 18th century. The second family were the Katsugi Saburo family who started up, presumably as a branch line, after the 5th master of the previous family. This group continued until the Meiji period. Unfortunately no Ujikatsu is listed for either group. This isn't surprising since little work other than this has been done.
