Duplicate post. I replied in your other thread.

Bizen (no) Kuni Osafune Sahyōedayū Fujiwara Yoshimitsu
備前国長船左兵衛太夫藤原義光
 

I see this record in Markus' book:
 

YOSHIMITSU (義光), 2nd gen., Enbun (延文, 1356-1361), Bizen – “Bishū Osafune-jū Yoshimitsu” (備州長船住義光), “Bizen no Kuni Osafune Sahyōedayū Fujiwara Yoshimitsu” (備前国長船左兵衛太夫藤原義光), “Bishū Osafune Yoshimitsu” (備州長船義光), “Bizen no Kuni Osafune-jū Yoshimitsu” (備前国長船住義光), first name Sahyōedayū (左兵衛太夫), he worked completely in the style of Kanemitsu (兼光), sometimes he also hardened a notare but mainly he hardened a kataochi-gunome which can also show ko-nie, the signature is rather small and chiselled on the shinogi-ji of the tang, wazamono, jōjō-saku
 

That is not to say that this inscription is authentic, but at minimum that is who the mei is purporting to be.
