文化七庚午花月　黒沢美明 "Bunka nana kanoeuma kagetsu Kurosawa Yoshiaki". This mark is from a fuchi and was made by Yoshiaki, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Hitachi Province (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture) for the Kurosawa 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.
