      村上

      Murakami Sama [Mr. Murakami]; the family name means "Village Above". The writing of on the hatbox is done in a written/simplified form.
      Also, the embroidered name inside the hat lining is the same 村上; only, a written, fluid, style was employed.

      There are various ways of saying/writing "Mr." according to one's social relationship:

      Kun: to subordinates or younger [kimi is the same kanji; in spoken form you are asserting your superiority when addressing someone as "kimi"]

      さん San: to peer [or higher]

      Sama: to someone higher in the social order, also used on letter addresses; formal; today, it's mostly a written format

      殿 Dono: very very formal; also used on certificates

      And possibly more, but I don't know that much.


      Nice collection!
