## Notes

This kanji combines water with a radical suggesting abundance. It primarily refers to the vast ocean, but in Japan, it often signifies Western or foreign things as opposed to native Japanese items. Common compounds include yoshoku for Western-style food and taiheiyo for the Pacific Ocean. JLPT N3 level.
