挟 - Compress
In Edo festival season, a giant foam finger bursts through the crowd, its tip ready to Compress everything in its path.
Suddenly, two golden horns arch up from a parade float, bracketing the foam finger like a sacred gate.
Stuck in the middle, the bewildered Husband (a kabuki actor in dramatic makeup) yelps as the foam finger and horns Compress him tight-so tight, his fan snaps shut with a sharp “ha‑SAM!”
The festival-goers cheer, remembering the old saying: “When the foam finger and horns meet, someone always gets Compressed-especially the unlucky Husband!”
That’s the secret of Compress-a playful squeeze between the showiest hands, sharpest horns, and the one brave soul caught in between.
