時年六十有八 神山致道 "tokinen rokujuuhachi shinzan Munemichi". This mark is from a fuchi and was made by Munemichi, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Shimotsuke Province (present-day Tochigi Prefecture). 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.
