Default A indian shield with a note on it - Hindu anyone?

I got this indian shield, nothing really special about it. But it has this note on the back that I cant read. Is there anyone that can translate it for me.
Thanks for your time

A friend of mine says:

Quote:
It says "Japani". I guess that means it's Japanese.
I don't know if it means it's Japanese. But the word written on the note would be pronounced "Japani"
