Grasp Sekikyo, pulling an empty bow, would say, “Check out the arrow” each time college students got here to him for his educating.

Pupil: “Why did Sekikyo inform college students to check out the arrow whereas pulling an empty bow?”

Grasp: “To be able to present the arrow.”

Commentary:

The intention of organising a wind vane is to not exhibit the wind vane however to indicate the motion of unseen wind.
