Today’s kanji is 上手, which is ready as jouzu (joh-zoo). 上手 means “skill,” as in being good or talented at something.
上 is the symbol for “above.”
手 is the symbol for “hand.”
How I was taught to remember 上手 is that you have the “upper hand,” therefore you are skilled.
The stroke order for 上手 is shown below.
Everyone can have a lot of 上手 in something unique. What is your respective talent(s)?
