Identification of Japanese POW camp on Java

The Danish volunteer in the Malaya Volunteer Air Force Asger Laursen was captured by the Japanese in Java. From NA: WO 345/30 includes the name of the camp in Japanese (Kanji as I understrand it). Would anyone be able to help translate it into a camp name?

The first letter translate into the word "claw" or "nail" as far as I have gathered.

Regards

Mikkel Plannthin
