Help with Asano Kanezane Nakago Inscription

[Conway]

Greetings, 

 

I am looking for assistance translating the inscription on this sword by Asano Kanezane. Thank you!

Hi Con,

The omote is a fairly typical nakirishimei: "No-Shu Ju Asa-No Kane-Zane Saku Kore".  The ura side has me confused, on it he often would make an inscription about winning an award or the type of steel used etc, but this inscription is unfamiliar to me. Sorry I can't be more help, hopefully some of the better translators will weigh in.

Hi, I will write only the characters.

（I also do not know the correct reading of the first sentence.）

 

「純正直鐡入鍛

　濃刕住浅野兼眞作之」

 

（To me, it looks like the character “入,” but on the auction site below, it is identified as “人”.

　Looking at the photo of the registration paper on the same website, it says “入”.）

↓ 刀　(銘：濃州住浅野兼真作・純正眞鉄人鍛)

auction site（yahoo!Japan）There are still some photos near the bottom of the website.

 

刕＝州　濃刕＝濃州＝美濃Mino

住＝live

浅野Asano兼眞Kanezane

作之=make this

 

眞＝an old-style “真”

 

↓There was also a brief biography on this website.

Could the third character be “真/眞” as well? Thus we would have “純正真鐡入鍛” ??

It must be a typo.

純正眞鐵入鍛

 

I do not know its correct reading either.

Junsei magane nyutan (?) - Forged from genuin iron.
