Krystian,

the MEI of the second TSUBA reads KUNIHIRO, I think.

The first tsuba has two buddhist invocations

 

南天阿弥陀佛　Nanten Amidabutsu

観音勢至　Kan'on Seishi

Hi,

The 2nd kanji is not "ten" 天, but "Mu" 无 = 無 .

 

南無阿弥陀佛　Namu Amidabutsu .

[Krystian]

And I was wandering why the signature on the first tsuba is so long:) And with kao on the other side. Now it make more sense:) 

 

Thank you guys.
