“Sweep across the top! This radical is like a tilted lid or a gust of wind blowing over the rest of the character. It provides the initial motion and sets the direction for the strokes below. When you see it at the very top, think of a sudden movement or a curve that defines the entire character's shape.”
Where it sits in a kanji
Indicates movement from above, a directional shift, or serves as a structural "crown" that flavors the character with a sense of flow.
