sayagaki translation help needed

[Volker62]

own a beautiful Tanto made by" Nankai Taro Tomotaka", dated Koka gan nigatsu niju

 

20. day second month  koka 1

 

  febuary 1844

 

 one side of the sayagaki  reads "Michinaga"

 

other side  "Tomotaka"

 

perhaps somebody can help me to read the rest of the sayagaki.....

 

 

 

Thank you in advance!

One side says
二月？日
南海太郎　友高　弘化元年
Nigatsu ? nichi
Nankai Tarō Tomotaka Kōka gannnen

The other side says
代田道長　弘化元年　二月？
Daita Michinaga Kōka gannen nigatsu ?

[Volker62]

Many many thanks Steve...!!!

 

 

it seems, that this Tanto was a collaborative work of Tomotaka and his Student Michinaga....

 

 

again many thanks!

I think that one name on the nakago is 池田道長 – Ikeda Michinaga, who was a student of Nankai Taro Tomotaka, though the sayagaki says it is 代田道長 – Daita Michinaga.

 

One questionable point is that Koka 1^st year started from 12^th month, and the 2^nd month of Koka 1^st year did not exist.

Who wrote the sayagaki?

[Volker62]

thank you friends !

 

Interesting point with this tanto's date, worth researching..

 

 

without a doubt, the Tanto is genuine Ikeda Michinaga , who's name is written on the swords nakago was a student of Nanakai Taro Tomotaka...

 

 

Thank you very much for your help1

I have a Yokoyama Sukenaga signed as "Koka Gannen Nigatsubi" which would be around this date.

there was a lot of arguing going on regarding if that date did exist. From what i managed to learn and research this date is 100% correct, and all misunderstandings came from different calendar systems. 
 

its another thing dated at this day, so i think there might be more to it
