About this kanji

The kanji 「富」 primarily means wealth, riches, or abundance. It is often used as a noun but can also be found in verb form, such as in the native reading と.む, which means to enrich or to become wealthy. You might see it in compounds like 富士山 (ふじさん), which refers to the famous Mount Fuji, or 富裕 (ふゆう), meaning wealthy or affluent. Another common usage is in the name 富士 (ふじ), often used to solely refer to Mount Fuji. A useful note is that while this kanji relates to material wealth, it can also metaphorically refer to non-material abundance in different contexts.
