Meaning

Primary

Printing

Mnemonic

You take out a flag, lay a towel below it, and use your knife to carve the pattern through them both. Voila! This is exactly how old printing presses used to work.

Hints

The old way of printing involved taking the pattern you want (the flag) pressing it against the place you want to print it (the towel) and then just slicing that sucker on there (with the knife).

Readings

On’yomi

さつ

Kun’yomi

す

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

As you're working on printing your own flag onto this towel you look over and see someone else just sat (さつ) down on theirs. "Excuse me, where is your knife?" you ask. "Oh, this way is slower, but it's less work. I'm just pressing them together with my bum."

Hints

I guess if you wanted to be slow you could do your printing if you sat down on it too...
