Thank you John and Morita. As John had pointed out to me, I believe the Fourth character means supremacy or leadership and the fifth character is Castle. This is a tachi that I recently acquired. On the reverse side it says that it was made on the first day of the new year on 1864. Maker is Toshitane.

Alright, here's the nakago. It took some work to remove the tsuka, but I was able to do it without too much twisting, wrenching, and bending of the sword. ;) Hopefully, this will provide a clearer picture of the kanji characters. Thanks again to you all!!
