QuestionAnswer

Ten crops, one soil.

king

The king is the one ruling the soil.

The king has a dot at his feet. It's a ball, how inappropriate!

The enclosure component looks the same as the mouth kanji. Unlike mouth, this component is not a kanji by itself. When the enclosure component is used inside a kanji, another component is enclosed within it.

Enclose a ball and call it a country. Who decides what a country is anyway?

Looks like a car doesn't it? With a line connecting two axles that the wheels are connected to, and an engine(the sun) in the middle.

componentcover

This kanji component looks just like a cover.

componentwrap

A gun and a hook is all you need to wrap up someone's life.

I saw a creature with ten eyes and one animal leg. It's really true!
