飢 - Hungry
A lone villager sits at a tiny table, stomach growling in the night.
No rice left, he dreams of festival drums and sweet inoko-mochi, but only the echo of emptiness answers.
He reaches toward the spirit of Eat, the great 食 radical, but his hands close on air.
This is the shape of Hungry-when even a table cannot hold food, and even the god of Eat offers only silence.
