翔鶴 - it's apparently the name of a Japanese battleship. The meaning is soaring and crane. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_aircraft_carrier_Sh%C5%8Dkaku
I think the writing style is called 楷書. This is a broad category, so experts might be able to identify something narrower.
It could be a borrowed word from Chinese, but I don't know much about that.
