閑 - Leisure
#Leisure
A slow gong - kan… - rings as a weathered Gate yawns open; beyond it a slender Tree# leans, its leaves ticking like washi in a hush of air.
Hear a thin cuckoo - 閑古鳥 (kankodori) - the old saying for “business is slow,” so the lone call tells you this place is pleasantly empty, not sad (a handy cultural cue).
Picture moonlight slipping through the doorway onto the gate’s wood grain and the tree’s bark: Gate + Tree = 閑 - a quiet threshold where time stretches and you are ひま (free).
