I have a mumei (ubu) long wakizashi that was attributed to Kaga Kiyomitsu and the Tensho period by the NTHK in Tampa 2012. This is supposedly the 6th (and last) generation of the Kaga Kiyomitsu smiths from the Kaga Fujishima-Yukimitsu group. From what I gathered, he and his brother left and moved to Etchu, and he changed his name to Etchu Takaoka Kiyomitsu.

 

Before the NTHK issued their paper, I was actually convinced the blade was made by the Sadahiro who signed “Kaga no Kami Fujiwara Sadahiro” and who appears to have worked in Echizen (Shimosaka) province from Kanbun (1661) to Enpo (1673) periods, and later in Settsu province during the Genroku period (1688).

It looks like i may have one by the same smith. The odd bit is the tanagobara nakago.
