Beginner Translation Attempt

[Basho12]

I've been trying to learn how to read mei and attempted to read this one strictly as an exercise (I'm not buying or selling). I'll understand if no one wants to waste time on this, but any help/correction would be appreciated.

 

 

I'm reading this: Hoshu (no) Takada Ju Tomoyuki Saku. How far off am I?

Richard, Well done - spot on. Now consider the age. Look at the chisel cuts and estimate how corroded or eroded they are. Same with the peg hole, mekugi ana. You are then in a position to consider which Tomoyuki may have made it.

Almost everything I've learned so far has come from the kanji links from this board, especially Bladeshark and JSSUS.

What more Tomoyuki coming out of the woodwork? Sweet.

Richard, Where did you find that one?

Over on the auction site That Shall Not be Named. It's academic for me at this point, alas. :|
