Garden / Orchard / Park
園 is a single character that means garden in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
This can also mean an orchard or park.
園 is not a common single character for a wall scroll but nothing is wrong with it. A lot of customers asked for a single character for a garden, so I've provided what I think is the best option here.
Zen Garden
禪園 literally means “meditation garden.”
The first character happens to be known as Zen in the west (the pronunciation comes from Japanese) but this title is not often used in Japan (won't be recognized as a Japanese title).
The title “Zen Garden” was made up by westerners I'm afraid.
Shima Seien
島成園 is the name Shima Seien (1892–1970), a nihonga artist in Taishō and Shōwa Japan.
It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war
花園里的戰士好過戰場上的園丁 is the Chinese for the phrase, “It is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”
This proverb is purported to come from the following exchange:
A student approaches his samurai master and says,
“Teacher, you instruct me how to fight, yet you preach to me about peace. How do I reconcile the two?”
The samurai responds,
“Because it is better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war.”
