日本語の意味

Japanese "櫨" is a kanji character. It refers primarily to the wax tree (Toxicodendron succedaneum), known in Japanese as ハゼノキ, whose fruit yields wax used for traditional candles. By extension, it can appear in botanical names, place names, or as a component in other kanji/words. In some extended or historical typographical/architectural usages, it may also relate metaphorically to structural elements such as a decorative capital-like part, but its core sense is the wax tree.
