Enclosure

N5 · 3 stroke · 35 kanji

A square boundary — four walls forming a contained space with something inside.

Draw four walls around something and you have created an enclosure. A room. A field. A country. A garden. This radical 囗 is pure boundary — it surrounds, contains, and defines. Anything enclosed, bordered, or held within a frame traces back to this simple square.
