Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 8-3-2007(280): Young kids likes to hide in cardboard boxes. (Primitive: CARDBOARD BOX, especially kids playing with them.).

2) [RoboTact] 28-7-2007(61): Note that stroke order with box primitive is as follows: first horizontal line, then enclosed element, and then a hook (it's incorrect in 4th edition).

3) [Cheesemaster64] 10-6-2009(35): This kanji doesn't really mean hide in the sense of hide and seek. It is more towards the meaning of hiding one's identity. ————————–AKA anonymity———– Schools are getting so strict now about personal identity, that they make young children keep anonymity by making them wear cardboard boxes over there heads.

4) [Zarxrax] 12-6-2008(16): Primitive = Solid Snake. Solid Snake hides in a cardboard box so he wont be detected. He's loved hiding in boxes ever since he was young.

5) [ghinzdra] 3-5-2008(5): When I was YOUNG I used to play to hide and seek ….Everything was good for that : even and old BOX . I was quite innocent at that time …. Later I learned games of adult : especially lies and conceal one's feelings…. NB : In order to avoid confusion with conceal (#1313 隠) hide is given a material meaning while conceal will be more intellectual …. The background of youth strenghten this conception.
