I believe it is the same Kato Kunihide identified below:

I think the date reads August 1836, but there's a kana after that "7" that doesn't make sense to me.

Hi Bruce,

It might be from the Chinese sexagenary calendar: 1836 was hinoe saru - 丙申

 

Year of the fire tiger/ monkey. Second kanji matches, first one not so much for me so a bit of a stab in the dark.

Yes, I can see the top horizontal stroke, very faint, now that you point this out!
