This is sayagaki from a recent purchase. Please assist with translation. The sayagaki not photographed says: Yamato (no) Kuni Juin Senjuin Shigehiro. The sword came right out of an estate and appears to be a Kamakura Yamato tachi.

The sayagaki reads .....

 

後鳥羽院御番鍛冶 (Gotoba-in Goban-kaji) – (One of ) the sword smiths chosen to serve ex-Emperor Gotoba

海上六郎胤平所有 (Unagami Rokuro Tanehira shoyu) – Owned by Unagami Rokuro Tanehira (He was a poet and also an assistant Judge (1830-1916)).

 

BTW, I cannot see the attached pictures of the blade or nakago, because they are too small. But I think that the sword may be not so good as you might expect because of such a poor sayagaki. :?: :?: :?:
