spring

On-Yomi: セン — Kun-Yomi: いずみ

Koohii stories:

1) [lilpea] 3-8-2007(181): White is a symbol of purety, so white water is pure water, the precise definition of spring water.

2) [hikarudo] 19-8-2008(123): Perhaps the most common appearance of this kanji is in the word 温泉 (おんせん, onsen), a Japanese hot spring. The kanji is an excellent image of someone enjoying a Japanese hot spring: a little white towel on top, water below. (This helps keep all associations: spring, little and onsen).

3) [Ninjasha] 18-2-2008(43): A fresh SPRING has plenty of frothy white bubbles in its crisp, cool water.

4) [dshill99] 3-2-2008(23): A spring has white frothy water.

5) [akane99] 8-7-2010(7): When SPRING comes, white snow melts and becomes water.
