Mnemonic

You describe the features of the stool to Jo-Anne (じょ).

Hints

Jo-Anne is really excited about this stool. It's the perfect height for her (remember, she's on the shorter side to distinguish じょ from じょう). She pays attention to you describing the stool while sitting on it and spinning around. Have her ask for you to describe it more.
