狭 - Cramped
In a Kyoto machiya (long, deep, narrow “eel-bed” townhouse), a mutt shuffles down the corridor-ぎゅうぎゅう packed, perfectly Cramped.
Above, festival lanterns brush the plaster; two tiny
horns like 丷 poke the air and still it feels Cramped.
At the tea room, a #Husband bows to the nijiriguchi (crawl-through doorway for humility), twists sideways-きゅっ-and smiles at how beautifully Cramped it is.
