Hello,

I am trying to determine the name of the smith on the blade, cannot seem to find any info anywhere on this Showa signature. The seller states its by Toushin Nariyuki

 

[Bugyotsuji]

東神（小林）成行 Toshin (Kobayashi) Nariyuki

 

Might help your search?

Here's what I read:

 

東神成行作 Tōshin Nariyuki Saku = made by Tōshin Nariyuki

昭和廿年四月吉日 Shōwa Nijūnen Shigatsu Kichijitsu = a lucky day in April of 1945
