Large River
江 means large river in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja. This generally refers to a river big enough that it's navigable by cargo boats, passenger boats, or small ships.
In Japanese, this can be a surname when pronounced as Minkou or just Kou.
A rising tide lifts all boats
shuǐ zhǎng chuán gāo
水漲船高 means “A rising tide lifts all boats (or ships)” Chinese.
However, this is a Chinese translation of an English idiom, so I'm not a huge fan of making calligraphy artwork with this title.
