The Arabic number indicates that it is relatively new, probably few decades old at most.
Google does not spit out anything with the maker's name, except that the family name has been used by sword and knife makers since Edo era.

I rather say this is a vintage, just found some similar blades.
Cannot tell the age.

Other than the blade itself, we can still judge from the condition of the handle. 50-years old is probaly a best guess for the blade. Combine the fact that a huge number of blade of this maker were available on japan website, it shouldn't be more than a century.
