I think all these tools were purchased from hidatool.com. The scraper and block planes are Koetsu. The chisel is a Fujihiro. The labeled 48mm plane is a customized plane made by Tsunesaburo for Hida. The name of the plane is Hida no Yugiri, which according to the hida description means "evening mist of Hida". You can see all these planes on the Hida website.
