west

On-Yomi: セイ、サイ、ス — Kun-Yomi: にし

Koohii stories:

1) [guidedog] 9-2-2007(224): The old west represented by a completely empty whiskey bottle (compare sign of the bird (#1427 酉) whiskey bottle about one third full).

2) [DrJones] 3-3-2008(49): Note: this kanji is also used to denote Spain.

3) [sgrant] 22-12-2008(25): The Spaghetti Western movies, typified by empty bottles of whisky, were so-called because it was often an Italian director that shot them. Most of these films however, were actually shot in Spain (another meaning this kanji holds).

4) [igordesu] 11-2-2009(21): Only one out of every four westerns is worth watching. Even that's debatable. The rest are crap.

5) [akatsukigui] 24-11-2010(14): One of the four directions: The West.
