Vita:香

Parts

• 香 911 incense
  • ⽲ * wheat
    • ⼂ * drop (a drop of, drop of, eye-dropper)
    • 木 195 tree (wood, wooden pole, pole)
  • 日 12 sun (day, tongue wagging in the mouth)

If you focus the suns though a magnifying glass on to the bottom of a stalk of wheat it will start to smoulder and burn like a stick of incense. The weird thing is that it burns from the bottom upwards, hanging in the air as if my magic. Try it and see!
