Compare the swordsmith's name in your pic with the name on here. http://bidders.auction.biglobe.ne.jp/item/90974219 It's at the bottom of that page. |
Google says:
Masayuki = 2690 results (search = 勝幸 まさゆき)
Katsuyuki = 1320 results (search = 勝幸 かつゆき)
So there isn't necessarily any overwhelming evidence as to the Katsuyuki vs. Masayuki reading.
