Let's play Shiritori Game!

しりとり　を　しましょう！

Rule 1: You have to come up with a word that begins with the final kana of the previous word. You can use katakana words such as “furuutsu”(fruit) 「フルーツ」.
Rule 2: The word can not end with "n".「ん」
Rule 3: Nouns only.
Rule 4: You can ignore Dakuten/Handakuten if you like.

ga,gi,gu,ge,go ------> ka,ki,ku,ke,ko
da,di,du,de,do ------> ta,chi,tsu,te,to
ba,bi,bu,be,bo ------>ha,hi,hu,he,ho
pa,pi,pu,pe,po ------> ha,hi,hu,he,ho

Example: “Happi”「はっぴ」 -----> “Hiragana” 「ひらがな」

I'll start.
Shiritori しりとり

Now, you have to write a word that begins with "ri".
り　で　はじまることばを　かんがえてください。
