I think the 4th and 5th radicals are Ki meaning tree/wood and Itsu/Otsu meaning second or latter. These are radicals 75 and 5 using the New Nelson Japanese/English character dictionary.

If you just take the initial 3 radicals 天下一 , this would also translate as the best on earth, then you have the ki radical 木 for wood or tree, I cannot figure where this fits into the scheme of things and then 乙村 which could translate as Otomura which is a town in Nara province, unfortunately nowhere near Inaba that I can see. I suspect a native japanese speaker could enlighten us pretty quickly
cheers
