On the tang:

備州長船祐定 (Bishu Osafune Sukesada)

 

I’m not too sure about the box but this is my guess:

别府市 魚?

三?

東野秀亥

Thank you so much for your time. Any translations for what’s on the box? All I get from google translate is “half Japanese city fish”.

I think “東野秀亥” is someone’s name. “Higashino” should be the surname, don’t know the rest.

 

“別府市”should be Beppu, a city in Kyushu.

 

That’s all I got, sorry.

That’s awesome. Again thank you for your help!

Oops, “吉” seems to be correct, not “亥”. The diagonal line representing a vertical really threw me off.
