越州柏浦住　戸田直和 "Etsushuu Kashiura ju Toda Naokazu". This mark is from a tsuba and was made by Naokazu, who worked as a sword engraver (soukenkinkou) in Echigo Province (present-day Niigata Prefecture) for the Toda house. Soukenkinkou is the Japanese name for metalworkers who design accessories for bladed weapons. A tsuba is a sword guard designed to protect the hand from contact with the blade. It also balances the weight of the sword.
