Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 1-2-2009(34): At DAWN, the SUN starts it's DAY of work, yes? So doesn't it need to SIGN IN with with SIGNATURE? Just picture that silly image for this kanji.

2) [Katsuo] 6-10-2007(20): I go out at the crack of dawn to buy a newspaper (The Sun), and bump into ex-sumo wrestler Akebono ( 曙 ) who is doing the same. Of course I ask for his signature on my copy of The Sun, which he signs "Dawn (Akebono)".

3) [mantixen] 17-4-2007(6): The sun puts its signature on the day at dawn.

4) [astridtops] 4-5-2007(3): The person who was about to be executed waited for dawn, because he still hoped the governor would put a signature on his reprieve before the sun came up.

5) [n1williams] 9-12-2009(2): DAWN is when, just like in classic cartoons, the SUN begins to write its SIGNATURE on the earth pushing back the darkness of night. Imagine the ex-sumo wrestler's ( 曙 - あけぼの) face on the SUN writing his SIGNATURE all over the earth at DAWN.
