Greetings everyone.
Im curious if anyone can translate this cloth attached to a navy dagger.
I think it may be a prayer or blessing of sorts, but Im hoping to find a name/location on it, if I can. My Grandfather looted a body in Okinawa (while he was in the war), which is how I came to possess this.

Any help at all will be more then appreciated, thank you.

In the words of Lewis Grizzard, "Damn, brother! I don't believe I woulda told that!"

The tag says: If found please drop in the nearest mailbox.
 
The right column is the address (長崎県佐世保市)山祇町三〇 30 Yamazumi town Sasebo city Nagaski prefecture. The left is the name 柳沢泰亮 Yanagisawa ? (there are several possible readings for this kanji name; Yasuaki, Taisuke, Hiroaki,,,,)

EDIT:
The given name could be 恭亮 Kyōsuke, Yasuaki,,,,.

So, if I wanted to give this back to the family, I literally have the name and address?
