Do you have more details like the brand, smith, etc.
I cannot find any detail about a company or line called seiryu.
Thank you.

It appears to be Sakai Takayuki top line damascus single bevels "Seiryu"

The kasumi equivalents of this knife were/are forged by the Doi father/son. The dammy versions are also made by a notable smith but I cannot recall the name at this moment.
