The character for "fire" is the same in Japanese kanji as it is in Chinese (as kanji symbols are all borrowed from Chinese anyway). I always remember fire because it superimposes "two sticks" on either side of the character for man (itself symbolic of two legs). In short= man + 2 sticks = fire.
Hence, I use a lighter to contrast the more modern version of fire, which no longer requires the use of two sticks.

Assignment52-342009 *Fire*
Built a fire in our outdoor Kiva fireplace. It was a bit warm considering the temperature was still around 78 degrees. The neighbors probably thought we were nuts!!
After they add the fish they throw a bunch of kerosene on the fire. I think this is done for sheer entertainment value, although they might have claimed that it serves to get the fire really going and cook the fish more quickly, but I'm skeptical. We have video of this that I might post eventually. This is the very beginning of the inferno -- the cauldron was completed engulfed shortly afterwards.
Fire pit, why is it blue? It's shot through a dark blue tinted glass. (Shot on iphone processed with PSExpress.)
