地鉄池田入道一秀　山本善則細工 "Jitetsu Ikeda Nyuudou Kazuhide Yamamoto Yoshinori saiku". This mark is from a tsuba and was made by Yoshinori, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Dewa Province (present-day Yamagata Prefecture). Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons. A tsuba is a sword guard designed to protect the hand from contact with the blade. It also balances the weight of the sword.
