"Ken" (謙), meaning "modesty" or "humility", can be a Japanese surname or given name. It and other standard Chinese characters are called "kanji" in Japan, where they constitute the roots of written language. Nowadays kanji is found in newspapers and other print mixed with phonetic characters.
Your plate looks like it may depict a castle or temple complex, which area might be identifiable through further research or by a Japanese Buddhist devotee.
Best regards,
