Japanese bronze mirrors help

grendel67 · 3 Aug 2013

I have some bronze mirrors that have writing on them that I am trying to figure out the artist. I think that the writing will give me that. Any help would be great. i want to learn more about the maker. I collect a lot of Japanese antiques But these are my first mirrors. An I do not have reference books for these.
Thanks

From up to down

藤原光長
Fujiwara Mitsunaga

西村豊後？政重
Nishimura Bungo? Masashige
(I can't decipher the fifth kanji. It usually should be 守. 豊後守[Bungo no kami] means "Governor of Bungo Province", but this is a kind of fake title. It doesn't refer to a real governor.)

藤原重義
Fujiwara Shigeyoshi

藤原光永
Fujiwara Mitsunaga
