Hi Milt,

 

the text reads as follows:

 

"Brief review:

 

It is said that the tsuba craftsmen engaged to the Atsuta-jingû lived and

began to work at the forest of Kanayama. They mostly made small-

dimensioned and thick pieces with scarce niku. This excellent tsuba

uses a well forged jigane and shows skillfully opened sukashi in the

shape of wild geese (karigane) and others."
