Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 14-2-2008(204): Let wooden goods = furniture. Then: Walking along the sea shore you see some washed-up furniture with water (waves) splashing against it. From a distance it looks like flowers are growing out the top, but as you get closer you see it is in fact seaweed.

2) [vosmiura] 30-12-2007(50): Take seaweed (water + flower) and hang it to dry in a tree to produce nori goods.

3) [dingomick] 16-3-2007(30): Seawood is the flower of the ocean. When you pile as goods on a pallet they drip water.

4) [darg_sama] 22-6-2006(16): Goods + wood = paper. You know how nori, ie: seaweed, comes in sheets for putting in your ramen or for your sushi? Well that's because it's water paper! Seaweed is also a sea flower of sorts, so it all just works out.

5) [MeisterLlama] 28-4-2009(10): Real seaweed serves as furniture for all the sea creatures.
