grassy reed

On-Yomi: ボウ

Koohii stories:

1) [ikmys] 29-5-2007(19): There are two methods for swimming up on your enemy unnoticed. A ninja using a grassy reed, making sure the flower is first removed, will approach stealthily. A warriors scabbard, once the halberd is removed, can also substitute for a breathing tube in a pinch.

2) [gavmck] 30-6-2010(12): Grassy reeds are plants useful for thatching. Be careful though, the leaf tips can be as sharp as a halberd. Careful with reed (#242 荻), hollow reed (#2364 芦) and ditch reed (#2411 葦).

3) [dihutenosa] 29-7-2008(6): The knight can't stand the grassy reed plants that are constantly invading his garden. I mean, they look nice in nature and everything, but they do not belong in his flower bed! If you've ever tried to pull them, though, you know that it's pretty tough to grasp them - generally you only get the "hairy" flower part on top and leave the actual stem. No worries - he gets his huge halberd and just lays waste to his whole garden - flowers, grassy reeds, and all.

4) [cameron_en] 15-11-2008(2): As I looked closer into the grassy reeds, I noticed that the flower was actually a blood-stained halberd… ahh!!

5) [astridtops] 6-9-2006(2): He adorned his halberd with flowers from grassy reeds. Probably some superstition.
