Help with Yasukuni?

[Akitombo]

Hi,

I have just brought a shin gunto with the following on the tang.

I think it reads as follows:

Chiku Ka Yasu Kuni Saku

But it does not make any sense, so I have read it wrong, as normal.....

Any help, as always is of great help

Kind Regards

David

Nothing to do with Yasukuni-to.

Yes, this is not one of the Yasukuni.

It is well made, no stamps, but no cigar.

This is why I never bet on horses, my ones always end up as hamburgers

Still a sword that needs research
