“The silence of the grave! This radical brings a powerful sense of finality and the somber reality of death to its characters. When it sits on the left, think of the tragic end of a story, the ruthless nature of time, and the physical remnants that stay behind. It is the radical of the mourning ritual, the ancient battlefield, and the philosopher who contemplates the temporary nature of all things.”
Where it sits in a kanji
Indicates death and passing, being ruthless or cruel, leftover fragments or remains, the process of decay, and the conceptual state of being "unfortunate."
