I would like to request help translating the kanji on the tang from a Japanese sword. I see the third kanji as 'Kane' but am struggling with the rest. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
The most probable reading is Kanetsura.
A swordsmith 兼貫 (real name 中野栄三 Nakano Eizō) was in the list of swordsmiths in Seki in 1939. I can't find any of his real inscription, though.
