Koohii stories:

1) [mspertus] 10-6-2006(166): First, note that the top half of the kanji consists of one and mountain. Of course, the "number 1" mountain in Japan is Mt. Fuji. The bottom half, under Mt. Fuji, consists of crown and towel. Now for the story. Archaeologists digging under Mt. Fuji (Japan's #1 mountain) in an ancient royal tomb (they know it's royal because of the crown) discover what looks like a towel, but after they clean it up, they see it is actually a splendid royal sash for the king's kimono.

2) [LazyNomad] 28-3-2009(160): WARNING: Try to avoid thinking of the upper element as a combination of one and mountain, because in this case you will get used to the incorrect stroke order.

3) [dwhitman] 15-10-2007(56): Beautiful "Miss Housewife Japan" is on posters everywhere, cooking right before Mt. Fuji (the number one mountain) while wearing nothing but her crown, and an apron tied with a sash. (hodgepodge of mspertus, zwarte_kat, et al, with a jot of hadaka apron to focus the image.).

4) [lifeflaw] 17-10-2011(54): The buckle is on the sash of the apron. (Note that according to the dictionary, breaking down this Kanji includes only the radicals for "walking stick", "one", "crown" and "towel". Hence, "mountain" is not part of the radicals.).

5) [deedriod] 5-5-2012(30): Heisig fails to go into detail about the top kanji, but, It's not a mountain like everyone is saying. It actually means Thirty 丗 the stroke order starts with a One, then draw in the three vertical lines from left to right. Then the last stroke at the bottom closing it up. Then comes the Apron which makes up a Sash. (-Story: I made a Sash out of Thirty cut up Aprons.
