Inscribed by someone who had very bad handwriting or who actually didn't know kanji. Anyway, that's a male name 三？一郎 Mitsu?/San? Ichirō.

I think the most likely answer is that it is a fake signature (which is what Toritoribe-san was politely hinting at). You could post pictures of the blade itself and that would remove any doubt. You could also post to the Nihonto Message Board, which is a forum for Japanese sword enthusiasts. They can advise as wellSo the most likely anwser is Mitsumoto Ichirō
Yes, I think so.So I guess it's just a fake wallhanger decoration.
Thanks. How would you translate it then? I see that one of the meanings of 仰ぐ is to seek.Yes, those kanji are 高 and 仰. It doesn't mean "aim for the highest", though.
Thanks. Any idea of the reading? ぎょうこう？ こうこう？"to look upward/look up at a height"
(or "the place is high/to adore" in Chinese)
The reading of the last character 睦 is "mutsu". It refers to a kind of club/group to participate in a festival.Greetings... May I have assistance translating these characters? Thanks!
