[No.0010 Kanji] Rain

This Kanji stands for rain, and is pronounced "あめ ame". You might tell this kanji means rain by the look.
And this kanjis is very useful because it is used to other kanji related to rain. Google the words, "fog", "snow", and "cloud". Finished? Like this case, there are many kanjis including other kanjis. Then we can suggest what a kanji mean by them.


As for etymology, I just found out one 3D epic video explaining "雨". Visit and watch 3D epic video!!
Kanji expressing nature has such etymology particularly.

[No.0009 Kanji] Head

This Kanji stands for a head, "あたま atama" in hiragana. It has other pronunciation, "ず zu". If there is only "頭", you can pronounce it "atama", but it is next to other Kanji, for example, "頭上", you cannot say "atama". "頭上" is pronounced "zu-jyo", meaning "over the head".

And it has another exception.
Do you know Japanese sweet, "manjyu"? It is written lik "饅頭 まんじゅう". I think this is confusing, but please do not hate Kanji haha.
