秘 - Secret
To keep a Secret in old Japan, monks would hide a stalk of wheat inside folded charms marked with the sign of Inevitable fate, believing the grain carried truth safely to the afterlife. Just as rice and wheat were sacred storehouses of life, secrets were treated like harvests—guarded, hidden, and never spoken aloud.
