fence made of sticks
moon
folding chair
Mnemonic

At night a bunch of hooligans came and smashed my fence made of sticks with a folding chair, scattering pieces of wood in the air as they kept smashing the fence.

(The pieces of wood flew directly over their heads, while the moon was in front of them. That's why the fence is over the moon in this kanji.)
