Interesting Fact
One of the most famous ideas in Japanese manufacturing is 現場 (genba), meaning "the actual place." Instead of making decisions from an office, managers are encouraged to go to the genba—the factory floor, construction site, or store where the work is really happening. Companies like Toyota built this philosophy into their culture, believing that the best answers are found by seeing the place with your own eyes.
Memory Trick
The left side is the ground(土). The right looks like a farm sowing machine. "Farm is a “place” where you sow Seeds in Ground."
