信仰 (しんこう) is a Japanese word composed of two kanji: 信 (しん) meaning "trust, faith, belief" and 仰 (こう) meaning "look up, respect, revere". Together these kanji form the meaning of "faith, belief, devotion". The word is often used to refer to religious or spiritual faith, but it can also be used in a broader context, such as trust in a person or an idea.
