豐天 - Reading and meaning? - Ryuujin27 - 2008-06-03
Anyone know the reading and meaning of this compound? I would say it was something like "bountiful heaven", but it's context is more like fishing (it is on a t-shirt).
Maybe it is a name?

I checked for the Chinese translation and I got "abundant day'.

Hmm, I don't think it'd be Chinese, because it is not a touristy shirt, but a shirt found in Japan.
I'm starting to think it is just a name, as no dictionary I own (a lot of dictionaries!) can find the compound for it. Not to mention the first kanji is far outside the General Use kanji.
Oh well, if anyone asks, it's a name
Thanks for trying

豐 is a variant form of 豊, Heisig "bountiful".
There is a store/business called 豊天商店（ぶうでんしょうてん）which often uses the variant 豐天 on their products.
