I need some help with this. The mei on this sword is "Chikugo Kurume Ju Kiyotsuna Saku". I have translated the date but the second row with kanji I have problems with. I think the first kanji is Ozu.... something.

need professional help

 

Sincerely

The inscription is 應大藪基足之需, and it may read "Oyabu Motonari no motome ni ouzu". That means "responding to the Oyabu Motonari's order". But I am unsure about the correct reading for the name 基足 (Motonari?).

 

BTW, the Oyabu Motonari (大藪基足) might be recorded on a historical document of Fukuoka-ken.
