あかさたなはまやらわ mnemonics


What mnemonic phrase / jingle, if any, is used by Japanese children to
memorize the あかさたなはまやらわ sequence?

Or could you come up with some?

To help myself memorize this, I could possibly fashion an English jingle
(where Satana is doomed to figure), but a straight Japanese sentence would be
more suitable as a mnemonic device.




I believe Japanese children do not use special mnemonics. I mastered the
sequences of あかさたなはまやらわ, いきしちにひみいりい, うくすつぬふむゆるう, えけせてねへめえれえ and おこそとのほもよろを
using the latter half of [this children's
song](https://youtu.be/SXvITpB4j0c?t=69) (written by a [famous
poet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuntar%C5%8D_Tanikawa)), and this was
probably when I was a kindergartner. I still clearly remember these five
sequences almost like standard words, although I have forgotten the remaining
parts of the song. Children can remember something like this fairly quickly,
and it's much harder for them to remember a long sentence.
