風 情
ふ

on’yomi

Probably from Middle Chinese compound 風情 (MC pɨuŋ d͡ziᴇŋ). Compare modern Chinese 風情／风情.

The reading uses the older goon of fu for 風 and the newer kan'on of sei for 情, suggesting either that this term underwent changes after importation into Japanese, or that it may have been re-imported.
