Hello:

    Could someone help me with the translation on this mei?  Just purchased it, and will receive it shortly; if the seller's pictures are not clear enough, I will repost when I can photo it myself.

 

Yours,

John Twineham

Right side: 平安 (Heian, in this case a reference to Kyoto, I think)

Left side: 義照造之 (Yoshiteru, the artist's name. After that "tsukuru kore", or "kore wo tsukuru" if you prefer. Together it means "Yoshiteru made this")

 

Check out a wonderful and rare two-sword set of tsuba by the same artist. (The swords are excellent also)
