    Memorization Hint
    2 -----------------------------------------------------------------
    本： "木": 木 means "wood."

    The center horizontal line shows the root of a tree, which goes along with the meaning of this
    kanji itself.

    -------------------------------------------------------------
    Notes regarding character
    -------------------------------------------------------------
    The upper part of 木 indicates branches, and the lower part indicates roots. Usually, the
    original branch/part of a company/brand/story has the biggest roots, so by adding a big root
    to 木、it becomes an origin, or base.
