This piece was brought to the dojo's attention thanks to @bradcoe, who loves to help his classmates spend their money. It's a very nice piece from Ikeda Norihisa of Nagaoka, Niigata and several members currently have their eyes on it.
Hopefully one of our members will make a home for it!

Something on his background. Ikeda Norihisa
(Echigo, Niigata) (also known as Ikeda Hisashi, b.1932) from Nagaoka city
in Niigata, Japan (formally known as the ancient province of Echigo). He was a
direct student of Yamagami Akihisa (Yamagami Shigetsugu, b. 1910) which
attended the Japanese sword forging school Nihon Tanren Denshusho founded by
Kurihara Akihide. Norihisa's teacher won numerous prizes prior to WWII
including Monbu Daijin Sho (Minister of Education Award), Kaigun Daijin Sho
(Minister of the Navy Award), Rikugun Daijin Sho (Minister of the Army Award)
in Shinsakuto (new sword) exhibitions. Yamagami also worked as Rikugun Jumei Toso
for the Japanese army during WWII. In 1941 he was given Tokubetsu Meiyo Seki -
Special Honor Seat in the Army Gunto exhibition. After the war, in 1954 he
obtained a sword forging permit from the Japanese government and continued his
career as a swordsmith. He won many awards such as Doryoku Sho and Nyusen in
the annual Shinsaku Meito Exhibition while teaching numerous young swordsmith
