< Grade 7 Lesson
乞 - Beg
At the Tanabata festival, a street performer leaps into a flashy roundhouse kick, sandals clapping the drum with a sharp “カン!”
The crowd laughs—then he bows low, tracing The Latter fishhook shape in the dust, like the trailing star of the Weaver Princess’s wish.
Everyone remembers: to Beg the heavens for rain or skill was once part of this very night—kick, hook, and plea tied together in one shining character.
