Kunisada Signed Sword, Help With Wakizashi

[Loader]

Hi! I found a wakizashi signed Kunisada, I need help to identify this maker (I´ve read about kusinada school and family but not sure at all if it´s related to them). Any help to try to identify maker and date would be great, thanks!

Off memory, there were a couple of Kunisada smiths working in early Shinto period, at least one of which was in the Aizu region (Daijo Kawachi Kunisada); I have a blade signed by this one. According to the letter which came from the seller signed by Tanobe, not a lot was known about the different generations. I am not personally aware of 2 character mei by Kunisada. I have not found much information about my Kunisada sword. Try researching Mino region.

The patina on the nakago and the crispness of the mei suggests that it is a newer sword than the typical 2 character mei usually suggests; perhaps an utsushi done in Shinshinto times.
