百 - Hundred
A single One stroke (一) lies on top of a glowing White banner (白).
Together they form 百, the mark of a Hundred.
At an Edo festival, kids whisper about the Hyakki Yagyō-the “Night Parade of One Hundred Demons”-marching beneath that white banner.
Each demon laughs “Hyaku! Hyaku!” like Goofy’s gu-hyuck, the sound of one hundred.
So when you see 百, remember: one stroke above white, a hundred stories, demons, and laughs all packed into a single mark.
