Radical Combination

  • 金 Gold
  • 東 East

Meaning

Primary

Tempering

Mnemonic

The gold from the east needs tempering before it can be sold. The gold from the east is good, it just needs some tempering before it’s entirely presentable. You know, tempering like you’d do in a forge.

Hints

Imagine tempering this gold from the east. You’re heat treating the gold when you’re tempering it, so feel the heat from the fire on your face and arms.

Readings

On’yomi

れん

Kun’yomi

ね

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

The smithy where you’re doing the tempering is pretty fancy, but it’s just a rental (れん). You haven’t sold enough gold to own a smithy as nice as this one yet, so for now, you rent one. It is pretty swanky though, even for a rental.

Hints

Imagine yourself in this rental smithy. It’s really nice. There’s like TVs and live music and free WiFi and everything. It’s a very nice rental in which to do tempering. Also keep in mind that this kanji shares its reading with 練, which has the same right side.
