Vintage Post WWII Signed Japanese Hammer

Description

This is a Vintage Signed Japanese Hammer.
The information I received is that the hammer was made in Japan, circa post WWII.   I found a number of Japanese hammers online with attributions to noted Japanese Blacksmiths.  I was not able to find one with the maker's mark on this one (seen in a closeup photo).  Any help with identifying the maker would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have any specific information as to whether the hammer is intended for carpentry, metal working or other purpose.
The hammer weighs 5.0 grams / 142 grams.  The overall length is 10 1/2" and the head is about 2 1/4" long with a 5/8" x 5/8" end profile.
We have quite a variety of antique and vintage tools and hardware listed, including at the time of this listing, a hand forged iron hammer.
Condition:
The hammer is in very good condition with a nice patina of age.
