Translation help: tsuba mei and calligraphy

[thutson]

Dear all,

 

I would be most grateful if someone could help translate the mei on this tsuba and the calligraphy on the box lid.

 

Regards,

Tom

Here the hakogaki (I'm not shure about the date):

 

葵形鉄地影透 * aoi-gata tetsu-ji kage-sukashi
銘馬面序政花押 * mei Bamen Tsunemasa kaō
昭和壬子年弥生 * Shōwa mizunoe-ne-nen yayoi [March 1972]
寒山誌 * Kanzan shirusu (+kaō)

 

Would you mind to post an image of both sides of the hakogaki? (I'm collecting images from hakogaki by Satō Kanzan)

Thank you gentlemen, I appreciate your help.

 

Mauro, here's the only picture of the other side of the hakogaki I currently have. I will post a better one when I have the piece in hand.

 

Best,

Tom

@MauroP please find some pictures of the hakogaki attached, apologies in the delay.

Thank you, Tom. I’ve been very busy, so the Satō Kanzan hakogaki project is running late. In the meantime, I’ve found additional hakogaki, and the database has grown. I just need to stop searching for more and focus on organizing and refining what I have so far (with help from the NMB community).
Here are the records for the two tsuba by Bamen Tsunemasa.

Dear Mauro,

thank you for sharing the records of the two tsuba by Bamen Tsunemasa, very interesting that they have the same theme. I'm looking forward to seeing how your Sato Kanzan hakohgaki project progresses, you have certainly taken on quite the task, but well worth the effort.
