 | Look! Its a cactus just sitting there in a desert like scene. But wait, the cactus is not growing up out from the ground like normal. Its growing Under / Below the ground. So this Kanji means Under / Below And the same cactus if you see it properly growing upwards like this 上うえ(ue) above, up than it means just the opposite. How appropriate. |
