Flaming Jewel?

[Bruce Pennington]

Yahoo has this for sale HERE.  I feel like we've discussed this emblem before, but cannot find it in files or NMB search.

 

My google translate says "(Ichiyo Aoi Mon) Main Water Masayoshi Fujiwara" New Sword Mogami Work Great Cause 2 Shaku 3 Sun 4 Boiling Wonderful Sand Flowing Gold Wire"  I doubt the emblem is "Sand Flowing Gold Wire"!  Can I get a real mei translation and any thoughts on the emblem, please?

This one is a hollyhock leaf. ("ichiyō aoi mon")

 

主水正藤原正清　Mondo-no-shō Fujiwara Masakiyo

 

"Mondo-no-shō" is a kind of title. Smith's name is Masakiyo.

By "Sand Flowing Gold Wire" they probably mean SUNAGASHI.

Ok, great!  I appreciate it.

Ah, with the right name, I found it!  Ha!  Already have it in the Stamps doc:

 

"on a 1721 Masakiyo blade – A single Aoi leaf indicating the smith is approved by the shoganate.  Also seen on Yasuyo blades.  Both smiths were in the line of Ujifusa smiths."

Would it be possible that by"gold wire" m, they meant 'kinsuji'?
