Memory Hook
Imagine a full-length portrait showing someone from head to toe. 'Zen' in 『全身』 (zenshin, 'the whole body') sounds like 'zen' meaning 'all' or 'whole' in English. 'Zen' → 全身 (zenshin, 'the whole body').
Cultural Note
『全身』 (zenshin, 'the whole body') is often used in medical contexts, fitness, or photography to describe full-body views. In traditional Japanese arts like 『能』 (nou, 'Noh theater'), performers use 『全身』 (zenshin, 'the whole body') movements to express emotions.
