Well here is some beginners translation help, it may be bit off but more experienced members will correct errors. :)

 

Kozuka 1: I got this as Na Yoshi Toshimitsu, not entirely sure of that Na. Many Toshimitsu's listed in Haynes, as I don't know much about fittings I can't give any further info.

 

Kozuka 3: Toshiyasu, Only Toshiyasu with these characters that I found from Haynes was H 10637.0. He was of Enomoto family and worked in Tokyo c. 1900-1920.

 

Rest are bit too hard for me to translate.

I'll take a shot;

 

1. Nara Toshimitsu

2. Higo (no) Kami Fujiwara Teruhiro saku

3. Toshikane

4. This is a tough one but I think it is the work of Komori Harutoshi who signed Toun-sai. This appears to have an inscription saying that this was carved by or perhaps carved in the style of Sômin. Would need to spend a lot more time with it to work this out...

FWIW
