一柳友随作 "Hitotsuyanagi Tomoyuki saku". This mark is from a fuchi and was made by Tomoyuki, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Hitachi Province (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture) for the Hitotsuyanagi house. Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons. A fuchi is a ferrule that is placed between the tsuba and a sword's hilt.
