Meaning

Primary

Delicate

Mnemonic

You loiter on the mountain, reading off the numbers of pi on this winter morning. Everything is so perfect, so mathematical here. You view it as delicate. Not in the sense that it will break apart at any moment, more in the sense that there are smaller, more subtle things to be enjoyed on this mountain, which is why you loiter here doing math.

Hints

You'll have to imagine the things you consider to be "delicate." Is that the snow falling on the branches? Is it the breeze? Is it something else? That's for you to decide, but imagine it vividly whatever it is.

Readings

On’yomi

び

Kun’yomi

かす

Nanori

None

Mnemonic

Ah! Of course! The delicate bumble bee (び), that is your epitome of delicate. It lands upon your finger, and you look at its every fiber of being.

Hints

Picture yourself looking at the bee, thinking how each hair on its body is so delicate. Maybe it has a delicate aroma to go with it. A faint smell of honey?
