This is a rubbing of a doorplate in the Treasure Hall of Yoshinozan Nyoirin-ji Temple where Kusunoki Masayuki scratched his farewell song with an arrowhead.
Reading of the song,
かへらじとかねて　Kaeraji to kanete
おもへは梓弓 omoheba shikyu
なきかずに入 　naki kazu ni iru
名をそととむる na wo zo todomuru
Rough translation;
I am determined not to return alive again,
so I write here that the name of person who
has decided to die will be preserved for ever
Seal,
吉野山如意輪寺　Yoshinozan Nyoirin-ji - Mt. Yoshino Nyoirin-ji Temple

With regards,
I.Nagy

Correction,
The farewell song's author correctly;
Kusunoki Masatsura 楠木正行、who was the son of Kusunoki Masashige 楠木正成
