Primary

Hanging Scroll

Word Type

noun

Explanation

It hangs on an axis point. The axis opens up, and reveals a hanging scroll. This might take a little extra imagination, but I believe in you.

Reading

かけじく
  • Kyoko
    (Tokyo accent, female)
  • Kenichi
    (Tokyo accent, male)

Explanation

For you'll want to think back to the word 掛ける, then shorten it and shove it into the kanji half way (the かけ part at least). For that's the reading you learned with the kanji, so at least you have that to work off of.
