Rain

N5 · 8 stroke · 14 kanji

A cloud with rain drops falling beneath it — a horizontal roof with four drops hanging inside. 雨 is one of the most beautiful pictographic kanji.

A horizontal bar — the cloud. Two vertical sides hanging down — the sides of the rain. Four drops falling inside — the actual rainfall. Look up at a rain shower and squint. You will see exactly 雨 — a cloud releasing four drops. It appears in every weather kanji as the sky-watcher.
