This may be the work of Nakagawa Yoshizane (1859-1915), the second son of Shoami Katsuyoshi (1831-1908). He learned metalwork from Nakagawa Katsumi (1829-1876) and later from Kano Natsuo (1828-1898) at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts.

For a work by Nakagawa Yoshizane, see Kawaguchi Noboru, Tsuba taikan (Survey of sword guards) (Tokyo: Nanjinsha, 1935), pls. 388-89.
