Koohii stories:

1) [smithsonian] 30-1-2007(251): The bamboo vase was beautifully crafted, but the tourist didn't know what it was and wore it as a little bamboo hat.

2) [broderickjeff] 29-1-2008(70): The bamboo part is easy. Just remember that this kanji refers to those particular bamboo hats that are worn primarily by Buddhist monks, who always seem to stand outside of train stations, collecting alms.

3) [AndamanIslander] 21-4-2008(53): Hey, where'd you buy that bamboo hat? Over at that bamboo stand!

4) [cjon256] 1-5-2009(24): Just cause you're standing with bamboo on your head, doesn't mean it's a bamboo hat!

5) [Wosret] 14-2-2009(13): The Bamboo hat, stands on your head.
