Hello all, long time Lurker. Big fan of everyone here and your tools. Learn a lot TIA. I received this as a wedding gift abo 6 years ago and wanted to know if anyone could help with maker ID and some more info. Daily in kitchen for a while. Demi chef use on loan for a day and put a minor nick toward the hilt and I just got around to bringing it back after retiring for a bit.

Thick spine, great utility, great edge and retention. 200mm to the collar. Purchased in the vicinity of old imperial palace in Kyoto. Simple shop. Also take suggestion of similar style and make as It suited my needs well. Man, some great stuff in here…TIA
