style

On-Yomi: シキ

Elements:

style, arrow, craft

Primitive:

arrow(strzala) Here we see a pictograph of a long and slightly warped arrow. By extending the short final stroke in both directions, you should see the arrowhead without any difficulty. The hook at the bottom represents the feathers at the butt end. When it serves as a semienclosure for other primitives, the first stroke is drawn longer, as we shall see in the following FRAMEs. [3]

Heisig story:

Take style in its sense of some fashion design or model. Then let the element arrow and craft stand for the well-known style of shirts known as "Arrow shirts" because of the little arrow sewn on each one.
