    Generally, the ashes are put in an urn. There is a space to store the urn under the tomb. The constructions of tombs are varied. The attached image shows some examples. You might need a mason to open/close the tomb and to waterproof.

    I think that the definitions of 茎先 (nakagosaki) and 茎尻 (nakagojiri) are wrong. Again, Kokan Nagayama says that nakagosaki and nakagojiri mean the same position. The attached image shows the explanation, though this part is not faithfully translated in the English version.

    I understand your confusion. The referred Japanese writing is poorly written. Kokan Nagayama explains the terms a little clearer in “The connoisseur’s Book of Japanese Swords”. According to his explanation, it should be noted that the definition of Ubu nakago includes “ … provided that the blade’s shape and length are changed only slightly, the sword is still regarded as an ubu nakago”.

    I pasted your text to my MS-Word and just changed the font to sosho font which have been installed to my PC. There are several sosho font sets (free or paid version).

    Fine focus is most important. But anyway, the sword looks to be a clear fake.

    His name must be 遠藤公之 - Endo Kimiyuki. His smith name may be 一文字(Ichimonji) or 一文字天秀(Ichimonji Amahide). Ref. https://www.nipponto...swords3/KY328240.htm

    I believe that the blade is a genuine nihonto. The registration card in the first picture shows that the mei is 兼直 (Kanenao) and the blade length is 65.2 cm. I can see the same mei on its nakago.

    Thank you. The date is 昭和十二年二月日 - Showa 12th year, 2nd month. And I agree with you for the mei reading.
