This is an Oire chisel from the era of the second-generation Ichihiro. Although it dates back to the era of the 2nd generation Ichihiro, the shaping process was likely completed by Yamazaki Shozo. As a result, the overall form and the style of the shoulders are very similar to those seen in 3rd generation Ichihiro works.
