i was reading the book "Japanes kitchen knives" and saw a pic of this beautiful honyaki yanagi made, according to the author by Hiyoshimaru. My Google-fu didn't get me anywhere. Does anyone know anything about these knives?
 
Hiyoshimaru is a kitchen knife retailer based in Tokyo :) It seems they use craftsmen from Sakai for most of their products.
 
Thanks Sara!

this is the knife, any chance the Kanji can give us more information?

I tried to improve the legibility a little bit

I can read the kanji on the blade easily, but when it comes to pronunciation I can only be sure about "Sakai Ichimonji" but the latter part is not 100%. My best guess to read it is as "Tadakuni Saku". I'm not sure which retailer owns this particular branding/logo though. Once again, this confirms me that the products come from Sakai, but who carries or holds patent of this particular branding are unknown.
