THE FORM OF KANJI FOUND ON YOUR BLADE ARE WRITTEN IN A STYLE REFERED TO AS "GRASS WRITING." IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ SOME OF THE CHARACHTERS. HOWEVER, I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE SWORDMAKER IS FROM THE GASSAN SCHOOL. THE SWORDMAKER'S NAME I AM STILL WORKING ON. THE DATE IS THE 2ND MONTH OF THE 18TH YEAR OF SHOWA(1943). IF I CAN FIGURE OUT THE REST, I WILL POST IT HERE. THE GASSAN SCHOOL IS NOTED FOR A UNIQUE FORM OF FORGING WHICH PRODUCES A GRAIN KNOWN AS AISUGI HADA-A SWIRLING UP AND DOWN GRAINING IN THE STEEL. THEY ALSO WORKED IN MASAME, A STRAIGHT GRAIN.
