Lagoon


Radical Combination


Meaning

Lagoon

Mnemonic

A tsunami crashes into the sun (breaking it in half) and creating a different wing of the tsunami all together. This wing crashes down and creates a lagoon.

The lagoon is beautiful! The water is hot (from hitting the sun) but it isn't so bright that you'll get a sunburn.

Mnemonic

This lagoon was created on purpose by a really angry dude and his catapult (かた). He wanted a nice place to lounge that's tropical, but not too bright. So he came up with a plan: use a giant catapult to send a tsunami into the sun!

Now picture it all in slow motion. The catapult tosses the tsunami into the air, it smashes the sun, breaks off into a wing of nice, hot water, and finally splashes back to the earth into a beautiful, secluded lagoon.
