From Brazil Wakizashi Translation help

[Elielson Andreta]

Hi,

I'm from Brazil and have a Wakizashi.

I'm trying to find out some information, like translation of the signature.
I am hoping someone may be able to help with any information.

Thanks a lot.

I began receiving my first down-votes the last time I commented that a sword appeared to a Chinese fake. However, that is what I see here as well.

 

Elielson, based on the way this mei is signed it unfortunately does not give the impression of being an authentic Japanese sword.

Very brave of Ray and diplomatic.  The mei is interesting. There is an example of this mei  https://www.fujibi.or.jp/our-collection/profile-of-works.html?work_id=731 

in Tokyo Fuji Art Museum    "Heki Tsushima Nyudo Chikyu Tsunemitsu"   Heki (or could be read Hyoki) Tsushima is in Hokkaido.  "Nyudo" could be "entering/living in"  but here there seems to be a context of entering Buddhism, 

and the tosho Tsunemitsu making this in 1698 in Hokkaido at age 73. (my wife read into this for me).

However, I would agree with Ray,  but to me your sword looks like a very poor copy, almost by someone who doesnt speak the language?

Of course thats only a comment on the nakago.

further reading...mei has nothing to do with Hokkaido,  its about Kyushu.  Heki is in Kagoshima and Hyoki, Tsushima is part of Nagasaki. Tsunemistu was born in Shiga pref and went to Edo .

My opinion, the tang/sword is genuine based on the nakago there. But the mei is totally false and done by someone who isn't Japanese. Doesn't even look traditionally done. But the sword may be a real one...mumei. Let's see more pics.

Thanks all for help.

I was suspicions that mei was fake. But sword for me is genuine.

Mei looks like Klingon made.

Cant say nothing about the blade. I see only the nakago picture.
