Mnemonic

You go down a street that cuts through a rice paddy and leads to a box. When you open the box at the end of the street, you see it's full of images. Image after image. Drawing, painting, you name it. Someone must have left this box of images here.

What are the images of, anyway? Well, it's better not to say out loud. Just think of the kind of image you enjoy looking at most. That's what's in the box at the end of the street. Aren't you the lucky one?

Mnemonic

Okay, I didn't want to tell you this, but the images are all drawings and paintings of gargoyles (が) and cocks (かく). Male chickens, that is. Turns out that's what you wanted to see most. Don't worry, no one is judging you.

Try to see the images of the gargoyles. Winged, stony monsters. Very cool. And the roosters? Colorful little dinosaurs. What's not to like?
