Hi Everyone,

I just got a new tsuba in the mail today and photographed it. I have been trying to work on the translation of the signature and am totally stuck. Not sure if this is some calligraphy style of kanji. Only one I think I know is the Shi 子 for the last one but maybe it is some type of kao. Thanks for the help, I am super excited about the carving and inlay and have no plans to sell it.

Thank you so much Ray! I would have never gotten it on my own, google translate kept giving me a 5 for the first character. Here is the backside. I would love any opinions or extra information on this smith any member can provide. Could it be Hamano school? Thanks again.
