Assistance with this hakogaki?


Recommended Posts

on the outside i can read 花文透鐔 Kamon Sukashi tsuba and on top right 無銘 mumei
Inside seems to be 丸形 Maru gata and the rest is quite hard for me, there's another 無銘 mumei and the signature is the one of Kanzan

無銘
因州駿河
透鐔

Mumei

Inshū Suruga

Hanamon sukashi tsuba

 

I'm not confident about mon (文)

 

丸形鉄地??
耳透無銘
因州駿河
昭和壬子年師走

寒山誌(花押)

 

Marugata tetsu-ji ?? (nawa-zu?) 

Mimi sukashi mumei

Inshū Suruga

Showa mizunoene (1972) nen, shiwasu (December)

Kanzan shirusu + kaō

 

I can't get the last two on the first line (far right of the inside of the box). Usually this would describe the design. If you could show the tsuba it might fall into place. I'm not confident about mimi-sukashi either. "Mimi kaeshi" 耳返し would make sense, but this seems clearly to be 耳かし (mimi sukashi), which is a term I've never heard of. This too might be clarified if we saw the tsuba itself.

Hmm. Not much to go on. I can't find the "hana" in that tsuba. I'm not quite sure about the Suruga attribution either.

May be that the box is for a different tsuba, but there are people more qualified than I am to make this call.
