My Iai teacher is an extremely adept calligrapher and when I've asked him to decode various pieces of 'artistically rendered' calligraphy I have, he says, laconically, "No idea." (he's grumpy). It seems, for the artist, it's the 'energy' or intent with which they're brushed that is important rather than their legibility, but I understand that doesn't help you

I think it's a "省 : Kaerimiru".
It means "Objectively review my past behavior and examine the good and bad points."
Specifically, it refers to looking back and reflecting on past actions.
I don't know "省" is correct or not. To me it looked like "省".
