Hello everyone, I am new to woodworking and I came across a japanese hand plane that I would love help identifying what it is, and what exactly it is used for.

Looks like it is set up as a rabbeting plane. How did you determine it is japanese?
From the last photo, it's a dovetail plane, without question. Use for cutting the male portion of a sliding dovetail. I have the German version. Very handy.
