Light
Flash
noun
Just like its kanji, this word also means light. In some cases, it can also refer to a flash of light.
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading. When learning the kanji, you didn't learn that reading, so here's a mnemonic to help you with this word:
If you could shine light on just one thing in the world, it'd be hickory (ひかり) smoked bacon, of course! Why hickory? Because no other wood adds that perfect balance of sweet, smoky depth. Not applewood. Not maple. Only the hickory smoked kind deserves the spotlight!
