囗囗於氏房作之

 

?? oite Ujifusa saku kore

 

I am struggling with the first two, which would seal the deal on which Ujifusa this is.

I wouldn't expect there to be too much mystery about a showa-era Ujifusa, but I can't place this one. 

 

Maybe somebody can give me a hand.

There's only one Showa smith of this name listed in Sesko, but the signature doesn't tally:

 

UJIFUSA (氏房), Shōwa (昭和, 1926-1989), Gifu – “Ujifusa” (氏房), real name Shinoda Hiroshi (篠田寛), born May 20th 1912, student of Watanabe Kanenaga (渡辺兼永) and Katō Jumyō (加藤寿命), he worked as a guntō smith, jōkō no retsu (Akihide), Third Seat at the 6th Shinsaku Nihontō Denrankai (新作日本刀展覧会, 1941)
