The left side is さんずい — water. The right side hints at a light shape lifted by the water. Together they paint the feel of something rising — a leaf, a thought, a mood — coming up to the surface.

Picture the world as something that rides on a thin waterline — bright, changing, and a little slippery. That’s the mood behind 浮世うきよ: life that feels light and fleeting, moments that bob to the surface and drift on. The character itself carries that lift — a soft rise from water.
