Today’s second #kanji is #画, which is listed under #かんにょう（凵） in my kanji dictionary but some dictionaries list it under 田. Lines are drawn around 田 (rice field) and the land is divided into sections. So what does 画 mean?
Meaning: to divide, to draw; the counter for kanji strokes
Reading: ガ、カク（カッ）、え*、えが*、か*
画家（ガカ）: a painter, an artist

画一（カクイツ）: uniformity
画期的（カッキテキ）（な）: epoch-making, revolutionary, landmark
