Hakogaki on Ko-Katchushi

[Curran]

I ask for help on the center line of this box's hakogaki.

 

The inside is easy to read, and of course the outside starts "Ko-katchushi"

Then: [?] [field/rice paddy] [kami?] [kore?] tsuba

Probably something very logical, but I'm drawing a blank and could use help.

Sincere thanks in advance.

契田神宅鐔 ?

 

A picture of the tsuba would be helpful.

Crickets answer....

Anybody?

 

I'm hoping for one of our very kind Japanese mentors to pop in.

Hi,

 

Atsuta-jingu (Atsuta shrine) tsuba.

Thank you Morita-san.

That was extremely helpful.

 

I had guessed the tsuba might belong to a shrine as a dedication item or gift.

If true, it would explain many things.
