Memory story · made up to help you remember
“Stomp, stomp! You see someone marching firmly with their legs spread wide for balance. This radical brings the energy of assertive presence and decisive movement to its kanji. When it sits at the top of a character, think of climbing high mountains, departing on a grand journey, or the assertive stride of a person who knows exactly where they are going.”
Where it sits in a kanji
