Kanetaka

It is "Monju Shiro Kanetaka".
Perhaps similar to KAN346.

The "leaf motif" is a version of the "Kiri kamon", like the one used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. "Kiri" is the paulownia tree; "kamon" is a family crest.
Google search for "toyotomi kamon".
Note: This does NOT mean that your kozuka belonged to the Toyotomi family. Many families use similar kamon designs.
