Please help me to translate a hako-gaki.

 

 

I can just identify several kanji in the beginning:

 

銘 兼重 - mei kaneshige

法安 .. 久次 .. - hoan .. hisatsugu ..

Translation:

 

"mei ´Kaneshige´

Hôan family - called ´Hisatsugu´

´Hisatsugu´ was the name with which the fourth

and fifth generation Hôan signed as tsuba artists."

 

However, also the second, third, and later generations

Hôan beared the name "Hisatsugu".

...............

´Hisatsugu´ was the name with which the fourth

and fifth generation Hôan signed as tsuba artists."

..............

A little more precisely;

- According to a book, the tsuba mei is thought to be of 4th or 5th generation of Hoan Hisatsugu.

Markus, Koichi,

Thank you for the information about the Hoan Kaneshige!

 

Besides I'd like to know, what else is written here. Could anybody translate? :roll:

Hi Andrey. Actually, that´s all. Koichi-san completed just the line

which I missed whilst replying without looking back once more at

the pic. :oops:
