Meaning

Primary

Morning

Mnemonic

There's a cross sticking out the top of the sun and another cross sticking out the bottom. The moon is off to the right. That's because it's the morning, which is when the sun and moon switch over. Those crosses are making sure the sun stays high in the sky for the rest of the day.

Hints

Imagine a sun attached up in the sky with two crosses, which act as scaffolding, and the moon gradually fading off to the right as the morning wears on.

Readings

On’yomi

ちょう

Kun’yomi

あさ

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Every morning you have Asahi (あさ) beer for breakfast.

Hints

You watch the sun scaffolded by crosses, and the moon next to it, as you sip on your early-morning Asahi.
