Help with Translation of Fujishiro Sword Paper

[Edward G]

I think what this paper says is that the Swordsmith is MoriTaka (Hawley’s Number MOR 880), however, I do not read Japanese well and do not know which MoriTaka in Hawleys this maybe or the full translation of this paper by Fujishiro. (is this is a personal origami or a ranking of the swordsmith by Fujishiro??). Any assistance, and opinions would be welcomed & appreciated. A more detailed description of the blade itself and photos of the blade are posted under the Nihonto discusion of genuine traditionally made Japanese Swords area of the Message board. However, I would like to know what the detailed translation of this paper might be. Thanking all in advance!!

It simply gives the stats for the sword-mumei, nagasa, sori, kitae, hamon, etc. It attributes the blade to Moritaka of the Tensho period....

Thank you Chris, I knew who the Smith was, but not the remainder of the paper.
