Mnemonic

Dirt makes it easy to identify your location. If you know that, you can go from place to place.

Hints

Imagine looking at the dirt. It's a distinct color and texture, and you're able to identify your location just from that alone.

Mnemonic

Knowing your location from dirt is quite a feat! Who taught you that? It was Joe (じょう), the big local farmhand. Despite being a bit weird, he can identify any place just from its dirt!

Hints

Remember Joe? He's our local farmhand who only has nine toes (from the 上 mnemonic). Imagine that guy explaining to you how to know your location from dirt. He may be a bit clumsy, but the man really knows his dirt.
