The Japanese word 火山 (kazan) is composed of two kanji characters: 火 (ka) which means "fire" and 山 (zan) which means "mountain". Together, they form the term that means "volcano". The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when the word was written with the kanji characters 火山嶽 (kazan-dake), which meant "mountain of fire".
