SEI, SHŌ

Left: rice 米, right: blue 青 (Growing plants

appear in the moonshine 月 as blue and young.)

Rice that has been grown under the moon is full of spirit.

米	rice	The rice plant has this radical: 禾
青	blue, young	At the top a growing plant (sometimes also 耒 or 丰, as with "life" 生) and below the moon 月. Accordingly, growing plants appear in the moonlight: blue/green.
月	month	The radical tsuki stands for moon or month when used at the right side of a character. However the radical niku 肉 that stands for body or body-part is in many cases simplified to 月 and thus looks equal as "moon".
