Information regarding the Tokyo Yamamasa brand is scarce. However, based on my recent research, it appears they were a Tokyo-based wholesaler that specialized in high-quality tools for craftsmen working with Paulownia (Kiri) wood—such as makers of Kiri-tansu (traditional chests) and Geta (wooden sandals).
Notably, the renowned Tokyo plane blacksmith Mr. Yuzawa (Brother of the second generation Masayoshi) is known to have supplied blades for this brand.
