Hotokei (Buddha) is the main kanji; it is also pronounced as "Butsu."
-- I am not good enough to read the attribution, but the first kanji looks like a rendition of "mu" (nothing-ness). The third line, where the artist's name is, begins with what looks like "michi/do" -- (Way/path/road); the third kanji is "nin/hito" (person).
This kanji is also used to mean France -- it uses an alternate first syllable fu -- with a follow-on kanji kuni/koku for country -- to create Fukoku, more commonly called "furansu" in modern Japanese.
