I will describe these individually in later posts. Saws by maker from Left to Right, Nakaya Isaku, Nakaya Insosuke, Nakaya Mankichi, Nakaya Kengo (Mankichi's brother 中屋謙吾). From everything I have read before, almost all blacksmiths working under the Nakaya name are from around the Niigata prefecture. The first Nakaya blacksmith being Nakaya Fukazawa born in 1758 AD (Hōreki 8):. Nakaya Inosuke was a direct descendant of this man. There isn't a tremendous amount of information about any of these makers in English on the web, so I am going to compile what I know here later in separate posts.
