Without revealing Moriyama San's spoiler, you might like to know that there were a couple of smiths using this name. One worked in Kai and Sagami around the end of the 16th century, possibly for the Takeda family. The second, around the mid Edo in Hitachi province. The way the first kanji is written indicates that this helmet is by the second of these two. See Kei Kaneda Chappelear's book, Japanese Armour Makers for the Samurai.
