One of the problems with wakizashi is that they usually are nijimei if signed at all. The shorter signature makes it harder in cases to pinpoint the smith. Most by this name, Kanetaka, lived in Mino, specifically Gifu. Later generations moved to Owari. John

And Mino would go with the yasurime............
