斤 - Axe
At a cozy morning market, the shop’s sign is a ceremonial chopper with a square head and straight handle arranged exactly like the 斤 strokes—when the baker weighs a shokupan loaf as “ikkin,” the shape quietly clicks as Axe. Picture it not for cutting but for marking weight—“斤 = kin = loaf sign”—so your eyes file the form in one glance and it stays put.
