End

Mnemonic

This kanji uses a modified jet radical. The front area of the wing is wider than the middle area of the wing. This may seem counterintuitive, but by doing this they can fit so much more jet fuel. The jet zooms off and keeps going for a long, long time, until it reaches the end of the earth.

Hints

Imagine the end of the earth being like how they imagined it pre-Columbus era. Just a big drop going off into space, giant waterfalls plummeting down. Your crazy jet has made it to the very end! Congratulations!

Mnemonic

When you get to the end of the world, you land your jet and put out a few mats (まつ) to sit on so you can view the sights.

Hints

It's surprisingly dirty down here, because all the water takes the garbage this way. That's why you sit on these mats you brought.
