Un volcan au Havre - ( RC )

L’esplanade aurait pu continuer,Indéfiniment.Il suffisait d’aligner  les plaques  de béton.Tant que l’espace  le permet.Sans  accroc.Propice aux courses  folles,Où viennent voleter des  sacs  en plastique. Il y a encore les traces de peinture  renversée,Puis les  arcs  sombreslaissés par les pneus des voitures. C’est un espace  sec, infertile,De plaques  préfabriquées,Où la ville  a  chassé …

Kanji are Chinese characters made in ancient China, and brought to Japan. Each kanji has its own meaning.

The easiest kanji is "一"(one). We write a bar from left to right.

For "二"(two), we write a short bar and a long bar below it.

And for "三"(three), we write three bars from top to bottom.

(More than four, it's completely different.)

The other 3 characters above are hieroglyphs type. I think you can understand how they were made, at a glance.

Even for us Japanese, kanji are difficult to write and read as well, because one character can have multiple readings. For example, 山 can be read as "yama", "san" or "zan", like Mt.Fuji is 富士山(Fuji-san).

It's said that we use around 2,000 kanji in our daily lives, and there are still so many kanji that we don't know.

Kanji help us quickly understand the meaning of sentences, and sentences without kanji are even more difficult for us to read.

Is there any pattern with inspiration/relation to Konohana Sakuya?

Hi! Konohanasakuya-hime is the titular deity of Mount Fuji. She's traditionally associated with fleeting cherry blossoms because of this part of her myth:

Sakuya-hime met Ninigi on the seashore and they fell in love; Ninigi asked Ohoyamatsumi, the father of Sakuya-hime for her hand in marriage. Oho-Yama proposed his older daughter, Iwa-Naga-hime, instead, but Ninigi had his heart set on Sakuya-hime. Oho-Yama reluctantly agreed and Ninigi and Ko-no-hana married. Because Ninigi refused Iwa-Naga, the rock-princess, human lives are said to be short and fleeting, like the sakura blossoms, instead of enduring and long lasting, like stones (via wikipedia).

I have never encountered kimono or obi directly hinting at this goddess, but if you'd like to reference her, any sakura (flowers on trees or not, falling petals etc) and mountain pattern (Fujisan if possible of course ^^) would work nicely!

She's also a goddess associated with sake brewing, so sakura + sake objects (like masu or sakazuki cups for ex.) would be very cool!

If you are going a darker route, sakura + fire pattern could hint at the birth hut episode of her story - which also links her persona to volcanoes. (Note that sakura+braziers is usually a pattern association hinting at nighttime cherry blossom viewing parties)

(anyone played Okami around here? I just realized the camellia sisters could be a reference to this part of Konahana's mythos :3)

MADILLO[マジロー] clipped out of ARMADILLO[アルマジロ] given the sustained O~ I guess it could be romanized as MADILLOH or MADILLOW. I'll be real I forgot all about these guys

BERARUSEKUTO[ベラルセクト] no idea how this one should be parsed... the -SEKUTO bit at the end is almost certainly -SECT from INSECT, given the Beaclon bits. But I have no clue what's going on with the BERARU up front because every one of those syllables has an alternate reading: is it BE or VE, RA or LA or RER or LER, RU LU or R or L???

SAI-TANK[サイタンク] SAI[犀]: "Rhinoceros" and TANK

DEVI-MADILLO[デビマジロ] DEVIL ARMADILLO nice and easy

KEMUDILLO[ケムジロー] I don't know what's with this one exactly... Might be a play on KEMUSHI[毛虫]: "hairy caterpillar" and ARMADILLO in part because the SHI[シ] and DI[ジ] are only differentiated by a diacritic. I dont get why the ferret and armadillo made a fuzzy worm though.

MOMO-DILLO[モモジロー] MOMO[桃]: "Peach/Pink" and ARMADILLO

FUJI-YAMA-TLE[フジヤマタートル] from FUJISAN[富士山]: "Mt.Fuji" where the SAN[山]: "mountain" also reads as YAMA[山] and at first assumed TORU would've been from "Tourist" or something, but that's not how they phoneticize that... So I'm not actually sure. Oh wait, is the TORU just from TURTLE[タートル]?? Also I have no idea why it's a kappa

KAKERO[カケロー] from KAKERO[駆ける]: "to run/dash/race"
