Anyone good or kinda good w/ chinese or japanese symbols?

So I have this charm that I had gotten awhile ago. Of course I don't remember what the symbol means and I was hoping someone might have a clue. I think it's in the simplified form of the word, and it means something like peace, love, tranquility, something along those lines. I've tried to look it up but have had no luck.

There is the link to a picture of it, any help would be awesome.

My Japanese is quite rusty these days, but I could give it a shot.

Give it a shot.. what have you go to loose?

It would be greatly appreciated!

well i'll give it a shot too but I only know some basic japanese

Nope XP I only know like the alphabet thingy not them put together but I don't think that's hiragana

I'm sorry, it would probably help immensely if I knew for sure if it was derived from chinese or japanese. ^^;

You climb up the ladder, and pour water down the slope onto someones head. It represents trickery.

It looks a lot like Kanji, which is Japanese derived from the Chinese system. Since I can't read it, I can't tell you for sure whether it's Kanji or the original Chinese symbols - however, in my experience Chinese symbols tend to look more busy and have more lines so it's likely to be Kanji. Conversely, Chinese symbols are used more often for pendants and tattoos. In anycase, I'll do some research but I, personally, can't read Kanji/Chinese symbols.

Thanks for you help ^^

The communists ruined chinese characters. Many aren't busy any more with Simplified Chinese.
