Gotta go; no time to research. It says
賀州金澤住兼巻作
Gashū Kanazawa jū Kanemaki saku
Made by Kanemaki, Resident of Kanazawa in Gashu.

Slight correction; I left out one kanji:
賀州金澤住人兼巻作
Ga-shū Kanezawa jūnin Kanemaki saku
Jūnin means resident.
Quite probably the feller listed below. Markus Sesko uses the modern form of "sawa/zawa" when writing Kanazawa:
Old form: 金澤
New form: 金沢
His civilian name was Miyamura Seizō.
