It’s the present dayJapanese kanji fir castle at the bottom and one strike away from the current kanji for tears at the top.

Very interesting that this artist chose an old Chinese kanji with a huge red circle at the bottom - kind of Japanese flag imagery.

The top kanji is the modern Japanese for tears. Computer fonts often have the top stroke horizontal but it's the same kanji.

Interesting. Can you show me a source showing OP’s alternative variant of the kanji, please?
