There are 42 columns and 28 rows, but they're actually made up of four identical quadrants. The kana/kanji form [[seven]] unique phrases when read from top to bottom (therefore we assume the binary digits are read from top to bottom as well). There is no continuity from one column to another, so unlike traditional Japanese the columns are not to be read right-to-left. | There are 42 columns and 28 rows, but they're actually made up of four identical quadrants.

The [[Oni_(myth)|oni kanji]] ('''鬼''', red background) is the most recurrent element in the matrix, with 11 instances per quadrant. It mostly appears surrounded by binary digits, although it is also seen prefixed to '''kako no aru onna 過去のある女''' (yellow). | The [[Oni_(myth)|oni kanji]] ('''鬼''', red background) is the most recurrent element in the matrix, with 11 instances per quadrant.
