bureaucrat, the government, organ
官 centers on an official role within a structured system: a bureaucrat, the government as an institution, or a bodily organ as a functional unit within a larger body.
官 combines 宀 (roof/building) with 㠯, which is thought to represent a mound or a group of people. Together they suggest an official building or a governing body, giving the idea of bureaucracy and government.
Under a roof 宀 sits a bureaucratic office 㠯, where officials manage government affairs like organs in a body.
For カン, picture a government official carrying a can of official stamps: can -> カン, and the official stamps everything under the roof.
