Please help translate this scroll box.





It appears to have some katakana on the back, of someone's name maybe?

Thank you so much!

The top picture says
椿に連雀 （つばきにれんじゃく）tsubaki ni renjaku
Tsubaki is cedar, as in the tree.
Renjaku is a type of bird. See link for pictures.
I'd translate it as "Renjaku in a cedar tree".

The label says Shunkin（春琴), presumably the artist Urakami Shunkin.

The box says Gochōtō (other readings are possible: o-naginata?), indicating it originally held a sword or polearm.
The katakana is... キ？イント. Quint, maybe? The second letter doesn't make sense. キエイント is my guess, but it doesn't sound like any foreign name. But katakana spellings from 100 years ago would be different from the way foreign names are transliterated today. Anyway, something like Quint, Quant, Kent, etc...

Incidentally, tsubaki is typically translated as camellia, no?

Ah, I guess cedar is 杉. My bad. Google translate says tsubaki is camellia, but...what the heck is camellia?

It seems to me that the right half of the vertical line at the lower left corner is shaved. It would be the name 井口？(a kanji with ninben)？ Iguchi (or Inoguchi)??, not katakana, I think.
