The short story of Kanji pictures
This kanji consists of two parts. On the left is the radical for the number ten, and on the right are three “power” radicals. Together, this kanji represents uniting many powers for a common purpose, meaning “to cooperate” or “to collaborate.”
This kanji combines the radical for “small thread” on the left with “power” on the right. Symbolizing a weak or limited force, it evolved to mean “young,” “child,” or “inexperienced.”
Within this shape, you can see the outline of strong, muscular arms. Therefore, this character in itself represents the concept of ‘power’.
On the upper part of this figure, you can see a farm, and below it is the symbol for ‘power.’ Therefore, this character means ‘man’—traditionally representing someone who possesses the strength to work in the fields.
