景色

けしき

  • head-high (atamadaka): falls after mora 1

How to read it: a line over a kana means the voice is high there, and ↓ marks where it drops. A kana with no line is low. With no ↓ the pitch stays high to the end and does not drop even on a following particle (が, は).

scenery, landscape

JLPT N4Commonnoun (common) (futsuumeishi)

けしき was spelled another way first; 景 was swapped in for the sense.
