The registration document attributes the blade to Motoshige. There were perhaps two generations signing Motoshige. The style is varied, many are similar to Aoe with predominantly suguha with sakagunome, and utsuri. There are also pieces nearer to Soshu with strong Yamato influence, like this blade. The attribution does not seem unreasonable.
