He is called “Shimosaka Shizaemon”.
Later on he moved to Edo.
The first generation Yasutugu was admitted as sword maker of
Tokugawa shogun and was permitted to engrave Tokugawa family’s crest on the sword Nakago.
This signature is similar to the 2nd generation.

From Aoi Art: This Wakkizashi is consignment sale.
So we cannot guarantee this signature. The signature looks like Yasutusgu the 2nd.
But we have never seen this signature “Echizen Yasutsugu saku kore, Nanbantetsu”.
The blade has Mr.Shibata’s estimationa Paper and Sauagaki of Dr. Kansan.
Please consider it as a reference level.
