Could it be Mitsutama 光玉 ?  In that case, it is a signature that appears to be associated to rather dodgy 20th-century carvings, see e.g. here, here and here.

 

The pictures in your other post do not suggest particularly high quality to me (but I get why the sword-making subject might appeal this forum's members).

 

Cheers, Pietro

I have an okimono of a figure in samurai attire drawing a sword for cleaning and appreciation. May I just say that I paid considerably more for it than 50 GBP!  :laughing:

Pictures, please???  We all do a lot of cleaning and appreciation!!!

Ohhhhh, very, very nice Piers.  Thanks, beautifully presented.  I love the tatami he is sitting on.  We may presume it is a Masamune tanto he is cleaning and appreciating...
