Mei on Habaki

[Lindus]

As she who rules has let me out of the cage again for a while, could I ask if any could translate and give and idea of period on this Habaki ?.

 

Had it for a while, for an Hira zukuri blade and is of base copper with Shakudo/Gold foil.

Thanks

Roy

 

PS, Has been mounted at some time.

Very nice motif Habaki.

The crow of three foot is a symbol of the sun,and the the rabbit is symbol of the moon.

It is a meaning that years(days) pass away hurriedly.

 

The mei of the Habaki is "Nagatsune　and kao" 長常

Many thanks Morita San, most appreciated.

 

Would that be the man working around 1780?
