Interesting Fact

Every winter, thousands of men take part in "Hadaka Matsuri", Japan's famous "Naked Festival." Wearing little more than a traditional loincloth, they brave the cold and push through packed crowds to receive sacred objects believed to bring good fortune. The tradition grew from ancient purification rituals, where enduring hardship was seen as a way to drive away bad luck and begin the year renewed.

Memory Trick

A rice field (็”ฐ) doesn't plow itself. It takes a man with strength (ๅŠ›) to work it. That's why ็”ฐ + ๅŠ› = ็”ท.
