柳 mnemonic

[Ddjross]

On the subject of 柳 (willow)

For the mnemonic it used the radical stamp and tree - however for me the right hand side is a slightly slightly disgruntled cat pirate? and wanikani seems to ignore that.

‘If you cause a cat pirate to be disgruntled and out of shape, if will inevitably take shelter up a willow tree. The branches of a willow are dense and provide good shelter whilst recovering’

just thought is was weird the middle bit of the kanji was overlooked - or perhaps i’m missing something.

Stamp has the extra line and it’s in its mirrored form, so that’s probably why they went with it.

Not that they’re super consistent, but in this case 卬 is a Kanji rather than a radical.

[YanagiPablo]

The right side is 卯 the zoodiacal sign of the rabbit (you can type “usagi” to get it).

卯 also appears in the kanji 卵, egg(s). Just with a a dot inside each “ear”.
