Hello Guys

 

Can you help me translate the nagako?

Thank you so much.

 

Best regards,

Oliver

備前岡山住國宗 - Bizen Okayama ju Kunimune

Not questioning, just trying to learn.  I thought it was Okayama (based on the context of what I could read)... but the Oka on the nakago looks nothing like the Oka 岡 kanji I normally see?

It’s an old Kanji for oka ‘hill’ 丘　岡　邱　etc.
