止 - Stop
At dawn, a lone traveler plants his componentscomponents firmly in the soft sand of a festival shrine path-foot thudding “ドシッ!”
Beside him, a componentsmagic wandcomponents glows faintly, waving to halt mischievous Tengu spirits from wandering down the mountain trail.
He grips a componentsstickcomponents like a walking cane, tapping rhythmically to signal a pause in the Bon Odori dancers’ stomping rhythm.
Above, a single componentsOnecomponents line of sunlight pierces the torii gate, marking the sacred threshold where all motion must cease.
Every time you see Stop, picture this scene: a foot, a wand, a stick, and one golden line-all converging to freeze action, protect, and command respect at the festival’s edge.
