The radical "hand"
In the previous lesson, I showed you the origin of the kanji "hand" and some kanji based on the pictographs of a hand.
This time, I'm going to explain about the radical "hand".
This is the radical "hand".
I wrote the kanji "手" last time, it is different, isn't it?
In this way, there are some kanji that change its appearance when they become radicals.
The radical "water" is one of them.
As I always say but, please write this radical within the 40% area.
Of course there are some exceptions, but roughly speaking, it's a good way to balance out.
The third stroke is "rise", which I introduced in the past article.
Make sure to line up the first and the third stroke's tips.
Now, let's practice some kanji with the radical "hand".
