権 - Rights
To win Rights in old Japan, a warrior performed a roundhouse kick while holding a turkey aloft, swearing under a sacred Tree to uphold justice with a single One stroke of his oath. The kanji’s left side (権) originally linked to weighing scales, reminding us that rights are about balance and authority.
