That maker's mark is for the handle maker(different from the chisel maker).
I believe that the handle pictured was made by Kane-e.
It is impossible to identify a Japanese chisel by the handle alone.

To add, what you want to look for is a name stamp in the area where the chisel blade meets the shaft of the chisel. Something like this:
