The film is set in the mid-1930s, a time of rising militarism, and the scene above shows a banner on the wall with a typically patriotic phrase common to the times.
The first two characters (reading left to right) are "Shindou" (臣道), meaning "loyalty" or "obedience" (to the Emperor, presumably), but I can't make out the next two. If anyone has a clue, please let me know.
