Healthy, robust — the 健 of 健康 (health). Ken (健) — as in actor Ken Takakura (高倉健) and Ken Watanabe — is the bedrock boys' character: sturdy, dependable, strong.
Diligent effort — doryoku (努力), the virtue Japan prizes above talent. Tsutomu (努) names the worker; steady effort beats genius that idles.
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.
