Ooops, I'm sorry... this link should be working:

And yes, it is Kagehisa Anotsu's battle-axe from "Blade of the Immortal".
Thank you everybody who may provide a clue.

BTW, another character's sword is named either "Grand Turc" or "Grand Turk"... does anybody know of the word "turk" or "turc" ever being used to refer to a kind of European blade? I'm attempting to estimate the proper spelling...
