Fuchi kashira box

[DanielM]

Hello,

I would be very grateful if you could help me translating an inscription on a box containing a Fuchi and a Kashira

I join 2 photos of the inscription - I have no other photo as I have not yet bought this item - it could depend of the translation....

Many many thanks in advance

The rest describes the piece but a bit hard to translate all of it. 

What is inside？

If this piece was really made by Nara Toshiharu it would be worth a fortune as Toshiharu was the second master of the Nara school and is said to be one of the best masters of the school, so beware. Would be advisable to ask for papers.

Dear Paul

As you said "If this piece was really made by Nara Toshiharu it would be worth a fortune " and I agree with you

so I tried to find references on internet and I find at Aoi Art ...8 pieces of kodogu made by Toshiharu...with NBTHK certificate...Tokubetsu Hozon for about 1500€...???  there is something wrong somewhere?  What do you think?
