豊か

ゆたか · yutaka · JLPT N3 · na-adj

wealthy

🌾💰 Yutaka is a common boy's name in Japan, chosen by parents who wish him a rich life

The kanji 豊 has 豆 at the bottom, which here is not a bean but an old sign for a tall ritual vessel on a stand. The top part stands for offerings heaped above its rim. A vessel overflowing with offerings means plenty, and the か ending makes it an adjective: abundant, rich.
