Explanation of the Calligraphy
The top row is in hiragana, the middle row in kanji, and the bottom row in katakana, all written horizontally.
Regarding the kanji, there also seems to be an alternative spelling “丸田” (Maruta), but like the kanji used here, it appears to be a phonetic adaptation. However, the kanji used in the work are characters listed in Japanese dictionaries.
