Interesting Fact
Japan is famous for its transparent convenience-store umbrellas. They're inexpensive, practical, and everywhere. Unfortunately, they're also easy to forget. Every year, train stations, shops, and public buildings collect mountains of lost umbrellas, making them one of the country's most commonly misplaced items.
Memory Trick
Imagine looking through a window during a storm. The frame surrounds the scene while raindrops streak down the glass. That's 雨.
