Found out a bit more on blade #1
The kanji on the left reads 桜人作 Translates to "made by о̄jin"
桜人 literally "cherry tree person"
作 read "saku" which means made in/by
The center kanji 花之助 is more than likely read "hana no suke" which again is probably a name.
The most interesting tid bit is the small hiragana on the right side which is read "tenka ichi"
Here is the translation:
てんかいち
天下一
Noun
1. unique thing; best on earth
For the maker to make such a proclamation either means he was very proud of that blade or just plain arrogant..... but I would guess at the former.
Could be a real jewel......
Yes, as to either idea, one would think so, however I tried searching for it using the available terms/names we can identify on the blade, to no avail.
