Meaning

Primary

Wisdom

Mnemonic

You shoot an arrow at the mouth of the sun so that it will grant you a gift of wisdom. You heard about a Greek hero doing this and the god in the sun gave him the wisdom to see everything. You're hoping it will work for you too.

Hints

Imagine shooting an arrow at the mouth of the sun and then waiting for the wisdom of the world to hit you. Did it work? Will you know when it works? Probably...

Readings

Nanori

とも

Mnemonic

You're standing around waiting for the wisdom to hit you when something else does. In the head. Ouch! You look down and it's a wheel of cheese (ち)! At first you're angry, until you realize that this must be a sign. Cheese IS wisdom. And the key to wisdom is eating a lot of cheese!

Hints

Picture yourself thanking the sun for teaching you that all wisdom comes from cheese. Now take a big bite!
