Your tanto was forged in shinshinto period (1772 - 1876) it is written in the kanteisho (paper) between parenthesis under Shigemitsu (second column starting from the left). Third column is the nagasa (length) of the sword.

And the certificate was issued on February 5th of this year (2015).

Dear Gheorghe.

 

A pretty little tanto.  There seem to be several possible smiths working in the shinshinto period who signed this way; Kofu Fujiwara Shigemitsu, a student of Shigetane,  Nakagawa Shigemitsu in Shinanao, another in Tosa and Nakagawa Shigemitsu of the Yamaura Saneo school. (All these from Hawley's Japanese Swordsmiths.)  

I think it will be hard to narrow down exactly who made your tanto but enjoy the research and let us know if you get a result.

 

All the best.
