Kanji Cabinet hanzi bonanza

Animal Kanji: 鴫

鴫 しぎ snipe

This appears to be a made-in-Japan character and is used to refer to the snipe (birds of the family Scolopacidae).

At Hōzōji Temple around the corner from my house, there is a haiku stone left by the great poet Matsuo Bashō. It reads:

刈り跡や早稲かたかたの鴫の声
（かりあとや わせかたがたの しぎのこえ）

Here’s my translation:

Among the stubble
Of newly gathered wase
The snipe are singing

Wase (早稲) is a type of early-ripening rice, by the way.
