Elevator Kanji

-


These are kanji you will see in an elevator at the station.

Starting at the top； 改札

Reading; かい・さつ
Meaning;　Ticket Gate

And below a character you will see in almost all elevators in Japan 階.
The radical on the left is hill 阝（ぎふのふ）and the remainder of the character 皆（みな、みんな）　means "everybody".

Reading; かい
Meaning; Floor, story　




Both of the above kanji use gate 門　(もん), on the left  "open" which to me looks like a person with arms wide holding the gates open.  On the right "close" looks like a person running into a closing elevator.


`開く
Reading; あ(く)
Meaning: Open

閉める
Reading; しめる
Meaning; Close

Kansai Ben Part1

Kansai Ben (Kansai dialect) is spoken around Osaka, Kyoto and Kobe.  There are actually different dialects in each city, but the Osaka dialect is the most famous because Osaka is famous for stand up comedy. In Japan probably the most common way of communicating by cell phone is using an app called line.  I bought these Kansai emoji for my line account and despite there being no kanji I thought I would translate them for you.　　I have numbered them from top to bottom left to right, first is what it says, second is the standard Japanese, third is the english....
