While looking on Pinterest, I’ve encountered this wallpaper and the writing on the road got my attention, mainly because I’ve just learned the Kanji for Correct - 正 and I do not know how it fits into the context, on the street I mean . I’ve tried to look after the meaning on Google, but it gives me only the meaning of Justified…and I simply cannot understand how does it fit into the context. Also tried to look into the upcoming vocabulary and could’t find it either.
Can somebody please enlight me? I give candies 🥸:upside_down_face:
ありがとうございます
The kanji for stop 止 origin is a depiction of footprints (see the bone oracle and other ancient versions):
The story of the 正 kanji is also very interesting:
Together they showed an army advancing into a town to conquer. In the bronze ware style writing (9), the town wall became a big dot above a foot. In both (8) and (9), the writing meant “just” because a conqueror was always just. Hmm… It makes one pause a little, doesn’t it.

Well guys…I guess it’s pretty obvious that I’m at that stage were I try to fit absolutely everything as fast as I can, and I mix kanjis with radicals or vocabulary and I fail miserably. I already feel dumb for starting this thread. Thanks for the support
I don’t know from which volume/page was this taken from. But knowing よつば is just random, but random in the way children look at things very differently than us. In the first volume, she is looking at a swing in a park and wondering how it works; when her father asks her to be polite with the neighbors, she requests ice cream; when she sees a man ringing a doorbell, she is amused that it makes a noise and someone comes out so then she keeps pressing the doorbell of some random house, etc…
