The first Kamisori razors I have seen that are that large. Thanks for posting those.

I have one, though I haven't used it in a while.
The Kanji 日下開山 stamped on it reads, Hinoshita Kaisan - a Buddhist term for immense power.
Hinoshita Kaisan was given to Akashi Shiganosuke, a legendary Sumo wrestler of gigantic height and weight.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akashi_Shiganosuke.
Whether the razor is named after the wrestler I wouldn't know. But it would make for a nice story.

Beautiful. I loves those. Only seen two that size sold by the same guy in the U.K. I got my Ohiri style from. Wish I had bought one. I do have one with the same stamps in 8/8 size folder.

In before anyone else says the barber is using the reverse side of the blade
