About
The character "森", denoting a forest, is etymologically derived from the repetition of the component "木" meaning tree, with its tripled form visually emphasizing a thickly wooded area. This structural composition has remained consistent, and while its primary meaning has always centered on forests, it has gradually developed secondary connotations related to density and abundance in broader descriptive applications, such as evoking a sense of gloom or a profusion of elements. The character's design directly mirrors its semantic content, a characteristic that has persisted through its historical usage.
