Based On

Mnemonic

Wipe your fingers on this table in winter to see what it was based on. The cold winter weathers cover the table in frost, and when you wipe it away, you can see traces of what the table was originally based on. All tables have to be based on something, even if it's just other tables that came before them.

Hints

Imagine tracing your fingers over the table, the cold winter frost stinging them, as you reveal the secrets of this table and what it was based on.

Mnemonic

This particular table was based on Little Kyoto (きょ). Little buildings and temples, that sort of look like Little Kyoto. Problem is, it was made by a 子 (こ), so it's not very good.

Hints

The buildings and temples are all very childlike. Like crayon drawn on a table.
