    花 (ka), Flower
    I'm a native speaker of Mandarin/Cantonese. Though highly stylised (especially the kanji for snow), the characters for snow, moon and flower are the same in both Chinese and Japanese. No difference in the number of strokes (four) for getsu (yue in Mandarin).

    Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant the Doman/Hingan version looks like it takes five strokes. The top-most stroke looks like it's a separate stroke from the right-most stroke?
