Memory Hook
Picture a 'row of trees' lining a road — it's like 'name' (並, 'row') + 'ki' (木, 'tree') → 並木 (namiki, 'roadside tree'). 'Name' sounds like 'naming' trees in a neat line!
Cultural Note
In Japan, 『並木』 (namiki, 'roadside tree') often refers to scenic tree-lined streets, such as cherry blossom or ginkgo avenues, which are popular spots for hanami (flower viewing) and autumn foliage. Famous examples include Tokyo's 『明治神宮外苑のイチョウ並木』 (Meiji Jingu Gaien no ichou namiki, 'Ginkgo tree row at Meiji Shrine Outer Garden').
