Sesko's Index of Japanese Swordsmiths doesn't appear to have an has only a one-line entry for this Sadatsugu, but if you search Google for 備中國住青江貞次造之, there are a couple of relevant hits:

• https://www.kusanaginosya.com/SHOP/344.html
• https://www.nipponto.co.jp/swords6/KY332581.htm

The kusanaginosya.com link has some more information: his real name was 佐藤 丈平 (Sato Johei^[?]) and he passed away in Showa 39 (1964 CE) at the age of 62 years.

He's also listed here as Sato Sadatsugu (Okayama).
