Shelf


Radical Combination


Meaning

Shelf

Mnemonic

Take a tree and make two moon-shaped shelf units with it. Moon radical-shaped, that is. Those moon radicals standing side by side kinda look like a shelf, don't you think? The tree on the left is just there to remind you it's made of wood, I guess. A lovely wooden shelf.

Imagine having some tall, moon radical-shaped shelves in your house. Where would you put them? Picture them there now. Honestly, they'd actually look pretty sophisticated.

Mnemonic

To match the moon radical shape, this would have to be a pretty tall shelf, meaning you can store a ton-a-stuff (たな) on it.

Think about the ton-a-stuff you're going to put on this tall shelf. Like, literally measure out a ton of things and put them on there. It can hold it, I'm sure…
