system

On-Yomi: セイ

Koohii stories:

1) [Kelly] 25-6-2007(168): The system for making leather belts involves slicing up a cow with a sword.

2) [ihatobu] 7-2-2009(61): Why all the gore and violence? How about a samurai cow? He doesn't have to be a violent samurai, either. He only wears the sword because he's part of the bushi SYSTEM. Actually, he studies ikebana, shodo, and zen. Imagine him sitting cross-legged in a Zen temple (a very Special Zen temple). The master asks him if a dog has buddha nature and, shifting the swords in his belt, he calmly replies, "Moo!".

3) [potempkin] 11-9-2008(45): Gary Larson cartoon of the feudal Japanese system: cows walking around with belts, complete with katana sabers. The Sa-MOO-rai class system.

4) [tenricefieldsglue] 21-5-2009(32): Jurassic Park has a system for feeding velociraptors. First a cow gets belted. Second the cow is lowered down into the raptors' cage. Third the raptor ruptures the cow with his saber like talons.

5) [fredde79] 4-9-2007(26): I used Heisig story here but i tweaked it a little. It works better for me if i imagine the belt is around the tail of the cow, cause that it what it looks like in the kanji.
