Sayagaki translation help

Hello,

I would be very happy if someone is so friendly and translates Sayagaki.  Thanks again and again for the support.

Seems to be “ Hizen Jū Harima Daijo Fujiwara Tadakuni”!

 

Quite a name.....

So the above and the sayagaki is by Kanzan Sato.  Is it a nice sword?

Looks like classic Hizen in suguha with a tight itame hada.  

 

Hey, it makes me nervous to see it on that nice leather couch.  I poked a nasty hole in a couch with a sword once and have still not been forgiven!

Robert, I won't do it anymore.  Here  photos of the Nakago.

Looks like a very nice sword. Here are the other bits of the sayagaki

 

刃長貮尺壱寸参分有之
Length 2 shaku, 1 sun, 3 bun
昭和卅六年初夏吉日
Showa 36, auspicious day in early summer
寒山誌

The sword has nearly the same cutting date test and tester as this other Tadakuni. They were tested just a few months apart.

Big fan of the suguha Hizen work. My first blade was a Harima Daijo Tadakuni!
