When read from right to left, it's 「隆昌」, りゅうしょう (ryuushou), prosperity.

More likely it's in Chinese though, which would be "昌隆" (Pinyin: chānglóng Wade-Giles: ch'ang(1) lung(2)), in which case it means "prosperous".

"隆昌" is also a county in China.

Both "隆昌" and "昌隆" are also valid personal names in Chinese (usually male), and I think 「隆昌」 can also be a valid male personal name in Japanese.
