Jakushi Tsuba Hako-Gaki

[Grey Doffin]

Hi guys,

I've just gotten in a signed Jakushi tsuba, which will be for sale, and with hako-gaki.  Other than the date (July 1962) I can make no progress on the hako-gaki.  If someone would be kind enough to tell me if the writing matches the tsuba (at least) or better yet what actually is said, I'd be most grateful

Thank you,  Grey

Sorry Jay; I don't understand.

Just guessing the middle lid, = Nagasaki Jakushi, Tetsu Un-ryu Tsuba.

Grey,

Can't read the name of the person who signed the description on the right, (Kawaguchi something) but generally what it says roughly is:

 

Tetsu Ji Maru gata Kaku(?) mimi,

Unryu Nikubori,

Kin Nunome Zogan,

Mei Jakushi & date

Thank you Piers.  It helps to know the hako-gaki matches the tsuba.

Sorry for the necropost, I was looking at various Jakushi signatures for that other, recent post, and I came across this one. 

Not a lot of new info, just wanted to fill in the missing blanks.
