The kanji 豊 is a 形声文字 (keisei moji), a phono-semantic compound character. It is composed of the radical 豆 (tō, meaning "beans" or "vessel," originally depicting a ritual vessel) and the phonetic component 丰 (hō, which suggests "lush" or "full"). The combination visually and conceptually links the fullness of a vessel with abundance or fullness. Over time, the character evolved to represent overall abundance and prosperity, especially in agricultural contexts. The original form of 豊 included the radical 示 (shi, meaning "divination" or "offering") instead of 豆, which also related to agriculture and harvest.
