Subject:About a round japanese mirror

Hello,
I hope in your expert help for the round mirror I suppose from Japan you can see in the attached pictures. I suppose it should be in bronze but maybe there is also a percentage of silver in the alloy; its size is cm12.5x2. Maybe I was able to identify the mon (the name of the family should be Yamaouchi) but I would like to know the meaning of the writing...
Thanks a lot and best regards,
Luciano
