Koohii stories:

1) [Zareon] 3-4-2007(196): The king has a really rare umbrella, it can change shape.

2) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(60): Tip: umbrella + shape : This combination of primitives appears four times in Heisig, so it may be worthwhile giving it a name. I suggest "parasol" (because it is the same shape as an umbrella). REF: rare (FRAME 1723) , check-up (#1724 診), measles (#2574 疹), fallible (#2720 謬).

3) [samesong] 13-10-2008(29): Mystique stole the rare jewel-encrusted umbrella by simply morphing into a king, marching into the palace and taking it. "I'll be back, I'd like to take a quick stroll in the rain!' S/he said, and casually strolled off holding the umbrella (pictograph - you can see the umbrella over Mystique).

4) [harusame] 15-6-2009(26): It's rare to see the king carrying his own parasol - typically he gets one of his attendants to do it for him (thanks to Katsuo for umbrella + shape = parasol and to Peppi for the story idea).

5) [Thunderball] 31-10-2007(22): The ancient jewel that is shaped like an umbrella is extremely rare, and so is hung from the chin (ちん) of the royal king of Mezura (めずら) to signify his importance.
