roof without a chimney
日
sun
六
six
Mnemonic

The realm of the dead is obviously underground, so it must have a roof. If you'll end up there you'll never see the sun ever again, and everything you'll encounter there will come in multiplies of six, since six-six-six is the number of the beast that lives there.
