    Hi, according to the seller’s description this is a マルタ. The reading is Maruta. The logo is the circle、 as for marusan in Iwasaki's kamisori. Basically Maru、丸 means circle. Inside the circle there should be a タ or a 田 or any other kanji whose reading is TA. Sometimes Japanese use graphic solutions to write marks, like marusan or hoshitennin. Hoshi, meaning star, sometimes is replaced by a star
    The kanji after Tamahagane means
    many things but in this case should be simply "made" or "forged". I have seen this kanji on may razors.
