Attached is a caption to an illustration in a book about Japanese swords. Assistance in translating it would be much appreciated. :D

Thanks Chris.

 

This fits in with the other line of inquiry I am following concerning Keiba Dachi, and its handy to have some confirmation. One of these days I'm going to learn Japanese so I can read Japanese source material and stop bothering people with these silly questions.
