Meaning

Primary

Brocade

Mnemonic

You weave gold and white patterns into this towel, turning it into brocade. It's beautiful, elegant, and worth way more than when it was just a plain towel.

Hints

Imagine weaving this beautiful brocade fabric out of one of your old towels. Try to actually picture the gold and white patterns you want on there. If you're a crafter, actually do it!

Readings

On’yomi

きん

Kun’yomi

にしき

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

You want to keep your brocade fabrics safe, so you lock them away and seal them in with a niche key (にしき). It's niche because brocade is a very niche kind of thing.

Hints

Imagine using your niche key to open this hidden brocade storage room. The key is gold and white and looks like brocade too!
