Meaning: Hill
There’s an axe in the ground… but it’s majestic, and it’s at the very top of a hill, how cool.
Imagine it silhouetted against the sun. A big axe on a hill, and you’re looking up at it (because it’s on a hill, duh). You walk up the hill (and feel the burn of walking up hill, maybe you need some more exercise?) to go to the axe. It’s awesome, and it’s right in the center, and right at the top of the hill.

No important on’yomi reading for this kanji – move along and learn the word and kun’yomi.
Vocabulary
Only one word. It’s kind of the opposite of 穴, I’d say. Learn it and the reading if you can.
a 丘（おか）＝ Hill
- Meaning: same as the kanji.
- Reading: Look at the hill. It’s not a great hill. It’s not a terrible hill. It’s just an okay (おか) hill.
