It's Chinese.
竹 [Mandarin: zhú ] bamboo. It means Modest, Upright in China.
梅 [Mandarin: méi ] plum blossom. It means Persistent, Indomitable, Self-improvement in China.

I can't load the second picture.
I saw "竹海" in the first one. Chinese and Japanese both have this word.
Means "an ocean of bamboo", sounds "zhu hai" in Pinyin, "droo hai" in English letters.
I don't know how Japanese says it.

Errr... wyoscot is right. It's "mei", not "hai". Sorry I made a fault.

竹梅 -- [Mandarin: zhu mei] bamboo and plums
Could also be read mei zhu = plums and bamboo.
Probably Chinese but Japanese use the same characters.
