- I just found the explanations about NORI and WAKAME from the Kohjien
- dictionary. It is difficult for me to undenstand the real meaning,so
- I can not tnaslatate them to English.Maybe somebody will help us.
- But I can image them from their Kanji.
- NORI: $@3$B](J. $@3$(J(sea) $@B](J(small plant growing on the rock or stone)
- So, I can take NORI as [small palnt growing on th rock in/at sea].
- That is dried lichen taken from rock/stone at sea.
-
- WAKAME: $@<cI[(J. $@<c(J(yang or seems like somthing) $@I[(J( a peice of cloth)
- So, WAKAME can be thought as [seaweed looks like cloths.]
- another, KONBU ($@:+I[!K!":+(J(many,a lot of),$@I[(J(the same as above)
- How do you image them? the chinese character is indeed
- interesting,even though we can not pronouncation them in Japanese, We
- can image the meaings.
