Recently I got my hands on a koto sword in shirasaya with sayagaki from Hon'ami Nishu (recognized the kao marking), but I've only been able to translate bits and pieces of the sayagaki. I would deeply appreciate any assistance on translating the sword's sayagaki, sending what I could not translate myself. Thank you so much to everyone on here!
Sincerely,

So recently I found a seller selling an Inro Ojime Meiji period netsuke Teppo with what seems to be A kamon with a Five claws motif with a horizontal line in the middle in gold damascene. Can anyone expound on the meaning of this Mon, as I wasn't able to find any prior information in my research. I appreciate this forum's time and effort.
