sunshine

On-Yomi: ヨウ — Kun-Yomi: ひ

Elements:

sunshine, pinnacle, parthenon, acropolis, piggy bank, sun, day, piglets

Heisig story:

Different from the primitive for sun (which figures in the character) and the kanji for ray (Frame 125), the key word sunshine is meant to convey the meaning of the masculine principle in nature, or "Yang." (The dark is viewed mythically as the feminine principle; see frame 1718.) From there it comes to mean sun also. The elements are: pinnacle . . . piggy bank.

Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 21-1-2006(191): A kid is perched on a pinnacle with his piggy bank. He uses the coins to catch the sunshine, and redirect it into people's eyes, far below.

2) [dingomick] 5-2-2007(77): The Pinnacle is environmentally friendly. They collect solar power through sunshine on their piggybank shaped solar arrays.

3) [gibosi] 10-1-2007(65): At the Pinnacle, they use solar collectors, sun piggy banks, if you will, to capture the sunlight.

4) [Howdoken] 13-4-2008(30): Mario SUNSHINE: collect enough shines to fill the PIGGY-BANK and the sunshine will issue forth from THE PINNACLE of Isle Delphino.

5) [bihzad] 19-3-2008(30): The pinnacle catches the sunshine like a piggy bank catches coins.
