Good evening from France,
Here some photos (in three deliveries) about my wakizashi signed ( my reading) Yamashiro kuni ju Nobukuni. Can someone help with a comparison or an explanation on what the Kuni part of Nobukuni is an identification.
Thank you in advance for your help with your knowledge.

Yamashiro no kami Fujiwara Kunitsugu ?

Hi,
I am the owner of an O-wakisachi (56.6 cm). In my illiterate ways I translate the mei as Yamashiro noKami Fujiwara Kunitsugu and I believe to read the date as: an auspicious day, ninth month.. and I am stumped is it eleventh year Kanei? I can not find any visual to confirm or not.
