Goto Mitsuyasu

[Frank101]

I have recently obtained a katana with full fittings by Goto Mitsuyasu (the tsuba and kozuka are signed).  I wish to know more about Goto Mitsuyasu.  Was he mainline or a side branch and any other information about when and where he worked?

Thank you,

Frank

This looks like the end of Edo period work and frankly its one notch below the Goto mainline.

Does it have papers? How does the signature look like? Yes, the name is the late one, but I would question the attribution first, i.e. better photographs are needed.

 

Saya and tsuka are probably post-WW2.
