堪 - Withstand
At the sumo ring, the wrestler presses his feet into the packed Soil, feeling its gritty brown strength under him.
The crowd shouts “カン! カン!” like a drumbeat, testing if he can Withstand the match.
His rival charges with Tremendously loud force-like the proverb 「成らぬ堪忍するが堪忍」, true patience is enduring the unendurable.
Rooted in the Soil, facing the Tremendously heavy push, he shows the art of Withstand-just like the willow “堪忍柳” that bends but never breaks.
