Tall

N5 · 10 stroke · 20 kanji

A tall tower — a watchtower or pagoda rising high above everything else.

Ten careful strokes build a tower. Top: the pointed roof cap (亠). Middle: the entrance gate (口 within 冂). Base: the platform widening out. This is a Japanese pagoda built to rise above everything, to see and be seen. 高 is everything about height, altitude, and by extension price.
