魚 - Fish
At a shrine fair, a plump Fish is neatly bound with seaweed ribbon and set atop a tiny stove top whose four dots flicker like a tail, all resting on a square Rice Paddy tile—see the whole picture in one glance. Old scribes literally drew it this way: head, body, and the dot-cluster tail, so your hand remembers the shape without trying.
