Zodiacal date?

[John C]

Hello:

This is from a sword I might be interested in. I believe it could be a date (zodiacal) but I cannot make sense of the mix of characters.

An/yasu/or sada?

?

Kane

Haru?

?

Could the last two mean "second month"

Please advise,

no date on this - at least not on this side.

Thank you, Steve. I was thinking date because I thought the "moto" character was haru.
