    Need help identifying Japanese chisels

    Hello everyone, I just came back from a trip to Japan and purchased a set of chisels. The seller didn't know who made them so I'm hoping someone could help me identify the maker or provide some more info on the chisels.

    The box roughly translates to:

    > Handmade suminagashi
    > Koresaku, the third generation of the human-linked Akaman
    > hand-made Sumimoto group
    AFAIK this seems to be saying it's made by a company called Sumimoto but based on some googling that company isn't known for making woodworking tools.

    Would appreciate any help!

    Thanks Justin these appear to be it!

    Can't find much info on who or what Sukemasa is but they seem to be decent quality based on the listings.
