Translation Assistance Please Characters On Military Sword


Recommended Posts

Dear Friends: A friend wants to sell this sword. Another friend tells me that it is made around 1941 and is inscribed with information that says something like, "The new work Japanese sword which the swordsmith of Seki forged. Tachi-mei:   Kaneyoshi Kawai"

 

I noticed on the web that there were a number of sword makers named Kawai during that time. Unfortunately i speak and read ZERO Japanese.

 

I would like to know if anyone can help with the translation and provenance of this sword.

 

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards
