Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 26-2-2007(225): Note: this is the ひさ in ひさしぶり . Long time no see mummy! (A bound up person).

2) [gorgon] 2-3-2006(33): This is a picture of a person bowing "long time no see!".

3) [Delina] 13-5-2008(22): Be careful if you're using alternate primitives for this kanji! There are only three strokes, and the stroke order is similar to bound up with an extra 'leg' like the last stroke of person. Using recline and person would give you four strokes. Using drop and enter would give the wrong stroke order and the wrong shape in handwritten kanji, even though they all look kind of the same in print. See http://www.mahou.org/Kanji/3557/ (bottom of page) for the handwritten style.

4) [Artemisk] 19-3-2009(21): That bound up person is a mummy, he's been that way for a long time.

5) [kansaigaijin] 28-7-2009(13): A mummy is a person who has been bound up for a long time.
