pillar(柱)

“This kanji holds a deeply mysterious meaning in Japanese legend. In Japan, a ‘PILLAR’ is not just a support for a house—it is also the symbol of a ‘GOD.’ On the left, you can see a giant tree, and on the right, a ladder extending to the heavens. Therefore, this kanji represents a sacred way to contact the GODS, using a long ladder as grand as a towering tree.

spring(春)

This kanji consists of two main parts. At the bottom, you can see the ‘SUN’ as a warm circle. The upper part represents a ‘PLANT’ that is now growing and pushing up from under the land. Therefore, this kanji means ‘SPRING’—the beautiful season when plants grow under the warm sun.

fine(晴)

On the left side of this character, you can see the ‘SUN.’ On the right, it depicts a fresh green plant growing from clean water in a tank. Together, they represent ‘glowing beautifully in a great environment.’ Over time, its meaning shifted, and today it is used to mean ‘FINE’ or ‘CLEAR WEATHER’ in Japanese.
