翫樂金子泰岳　義胤 "Ganraku Kaneko Hougaku Yoshitane". This mark comes from a "fuchi", a sword ferrule in the shape of a cap or ring, and was made by Yoshitane. Yoshitane worked as a "soukenkinkou" in the Nara line of the Honjo house. Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons.
