umbrella
傘 centers on an umbrella: a portable canopy that opens to shield from rain or sun.
傘 is a pictograph of an umbrella, with the top representing the canopy and the lower strokes suggesting the ribs and handle. The modern form preserves this image clearly.
The top 人-like shape is the canopy, the central vertical line is the handle, and the four small 人-like strokes are the ribs spreading out. Together they form an umbrella.
For サン, picture the sun (サン) beating down, and you open your umbrella for shade: sun -> サン.
