Fence


Radical Combination


Meaning

Fence

Mnemonic

In the dirt there are flags and horns lined up with a lantern attached to them, making a fence. It's a little weird looking, but these things are definitely supposed to fence something in.

Can you see the fence made of horns and flags through the light of the lantern?

Mnemonic

You want to know what this fence is fencing in, so you take a step closer. As the light from the lantern gets brighter you see that the fence is around a ton of hay (へい).

Picture yourself climbing over this fence (that you're definitely not supposed to climb based on all these flags and horns) and falling into the piles of hay. It's a little scratchy, but otherwise pretty comfy!
