stationery

On-Yomi: セン — Kun-Yomi: ふだ

Elements:

stationery, bamboo, float, fiesta, float*, fiesta2

Heisig story:

Bamboo . . . float. Note that the drawing of the primitive for float uses the abbreviated form that has become standard in the general-use kanji and as we met it earlier (Frames 393-95). Until such time as typesetting fonts make the adjustment, only the older form has been approved. Here we have opted for the simpler, avant garde drawing.

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 25-7-2007(74): Note: the spelling should be stationery (= paper, office supplies), not stationary (= not moving). The error is in the original book.

2) [Megaqwerty] 30-9-2007(52): The two fiestas communicated to each other on their respective floats by using bamboo stationery.

3) [enryu] 5-9-2009(15): They used bamboo stationery to document where and when the two fiestas would take place.

4) [Hoticehunter] 27-3-2012(10): Because this character was added to the Joyo list in 2010, it now uses a simplified version of the writing. It's now the "float" primitive instead of "two fiestas".

5) [shirahime] 17-7-2008(10): The fiesta celebrating bamboo and the fiesta celebrating stationary combined into one big fiesta celebrating bamboo stationary. You get giant bamboo pencils for attending.
