A chisel from the collection of a carpenter who was active in the Showa era. At first I suspected that this chisel was the work of Kunihiro, a famous chisel blacksmith during the Meiji era in Tokyo. But I asked Mr. Tsuchida to identify it for me and found out that it is a fake, and this blacksmith's work is not bad.
