Dear Steve and UWE, many thanks for this translation...Soshu script is not easy...i have also asked AI (chat gpt and gemini) one answer Munemasa and the other MitsuShaku....i think the second and third kanji is most probably Chika Saku....as far as the first one is concerned....Yasu seems a good guess....let us see if we receive other answers again many thanks for your help Daniel
