Memory Hook
Imagine a 'tai' (台, 'stand' or 'base') holding a 'hon' (本, 'book') — it's the base script for a play or opera, like a libretto or scenario. 'Stand-book' → 台本 (daihon, 'libretto / Scenario').
Cultural Note
In Japan, 『台本』 (daihon, 'libretto / Scenario') is essential in theater, film, and TV production. It's often used by directors and actors to rehearse, and in traditional arts like 『能』 (noh, 'Noh theater'), the libretto is highly valued for its poetic language.
