I think it's "omi no kami hōjōji tachibana masahiro" MAS147 in the database. I'm having trouble with the date, maybe Kanbun, seventh? year, eighth month, and then I'm not sure. So possibly August 1668. Hopefully someone else will be able to answer more confidently than me. Login or register to post comments

The last 2 kanji are "KICHI NICHI", meaning "a lucky day". It's a very common way to end a signature-date. Pete Login or register to post comments
