emotion, feeling, sensation
感 centers on the inner response to something: an emotion, a feeling, or a physical sensation. It covers both heartfelt reactions and the act of sensing.
感 combines 咸 (possibly a phonetic element suggesting 'all' or 'together') with 心 (heart/mind), expressing the idea of something that moves the heart or mind. The exact historical development of 咸 is uncertain, but the phono-semantic structure is broadly accepted.
The top part 咸 looks like a container, and the bottom is 心 (heart). Imagine emotions and sensations being held inside the heart, ready to be felt.
For カン, picture a can of feelings: when you open the can, all the emotions and sensations pour out. Can -> カン, and the heart at the bottom receives them.
