New member - Your help needed translating Nbthk paper

[Corucia]

I'm a new member of the site and considering purchasing the second sword listed on the below site.

 

http://japansword.art.coocan.jp/

 

The sword in question is the tachi attributed to Fujishima Tomoshige. I've posted a note elsewhere on the site looking for feedback on the sword in general but wanted to post a note here to see if someone could help me translate the Nbthk paper. If you click through the main image of the second sword, you'll see a scan of the nbthk paper. The seller indicates that the sword is Nbthk attributed to Fujishima tomoshige and he claims this particular Tomoshige is second generation, rai school. In any case, any help you can provide in translating the paper would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks,

 

Eric
