KanjiJLPT N1
Clear

Mnemonic

Your eye burns as smoke fills the room. Blinded, you stumble toward the window and throw it open. The smoke rushes out, and suddenly everything is clear—every detail snaps into sharp, unmistakable focus.
Additional thoughts
Visualize the dramatic shift: dense smoke stinging your eye, then the whoosh of fresh air sweeping it all away. The moment smoke vanishes, clarity floods in. No smoke before the eye means clear vision.
Quick recall
Eye choked by smoke; once it clears, vision becomes clear.
