The first letter is 塩, shio/salt not 檻. It is probably pronounced Shiwaku. There is a group of islands called Shiwaku Shoto in Setonaikai that has some historical significance. Since it's a pretty rare name, the person who originally ordered this may be a direct descendant of the Shiwaku Suigun, a sea faring tribe/pirates.boushi_mania said:Inside the left front, this name(?) is embroidered:
As near as I can tell, it's the characters 檻 and 飽 followed by a crudely-stitched katakana サ. Either it's the name "Oriaki" with an... interesting choice of characters, or... I don't know. Someone is sick and tired of their cage?

The katakana サprobably is the first letter of the first name of the person, or indicates which branch of the family, as it is likely that the Shiwaku clan would be common in a certain region.
