  • 舟 Boat

Meaning

Primary

Rust Colored

Alternatives

Red, Sincerity

Mnemonic

This is a boat, but it's missing some pieces. That's because it's really rusty, so parts are falling off of it and it looks rust colored. In ancient Chinese literature, this rusty red color represented sincerity, and you'll often see this kanji take that meaning in jukugo words.

Hints

Picture this broken, rust colored boat. It's a reddish-brown color and it's definitely missing some important pieces.

Readings

On’yomi

たん

Kun’yomi

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

The rust colored boat has inspired you, so you sit down next to it in the sun and tan (たん). You want to be the exact same rust color as the boat, and in a few hours you're sure you'll match.

Hints

Watch your skin slowly change as you tan to match the rust colored boat. Feel your skin in the sun. This may not be good for your health, but it's great for fashion!
