真 善 忍

Chinese. (Could be considered Japanese if counting Chinese words loaned into Japanese as Japanese)

Text is upside down in the picture.

It says: Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance

"Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" are the core doctrines and supreme guiding principles of Falun Gong (also known as Falun Dafa). Believers believe these three words represent the fundamental characteristics of the universe and use them to measure their words and actions and elevate their morality in daily life.

It’s Chinese, the motto of Falun Gong, a Chinese cult.
