Additional Information: This is a pre-owned chisel in good condition, featuring high precision in its craftsmanship. Its previous owner, a Miyadaiku (temple carpenter), had applied a layer of anti-rust lacquer for long-term protection. I have performed a restorative sharpening, sharpen the bevel and ura to a 1000-grit finish. Based on the wear of the wooden handle, the remaining length of the blade, and the thickness of the steel, it is evident that this was a favorite, frequently used tool in the master's kit. For detailed information regarding the blacksmith, please refer to entry No. 31 in my blog post, "OTHER TOKYO CHISEL MARKS."
It comes from the descendants of a retired Miyadaiku from Kamakura. The chisels from this Miya-daiku currently listed on the website are as follows:
