Additional Information:  This is a lightly used, well-preserved Japanese handmade axe. It adopts the distinctive styling of "Tsumbo," a renowned lineage of master smith that persisted for five generations from the Edo period in Takada City, Niigata Prefecture. The axe is crafted with exceptional precision, and based on my personal evaluation, I suspect it may be the work of Takaki Junichi .

"Yamashiro-no-Kami" is a brand owned by Yoita Riki Kogyo Co., Ltd., located in Yoita-Otsu, Yoita-machi, Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture. According to my research, the company’s registered address is located just 1.5 kilometers away from Junichi Takaki's smithy.
