What each kanji means
To govern, to heal — order restored. Osamu (治) and Haruji recall the Meiji (明治) era of modernization; a name for one who sets things right.
Blessing, grace, generosity. A perennial in Japanese names for generations — Megumi (恵) and Keiko (恵子) — expressing the wish for a kind child who both receives and gives blessings.
Joy and music in a single character (楽しい/音楽). Raku and Gaku readings — Sasara (咲楽) — wish a life of ease and delight; it names the tea-ceremony Raku ware.
Flow, current, style (流儀). Ryu and Nagare readings suggest adaptability — water that finds its way past every obstacle and polishes stones smooth.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
