The kanji 肌 is a pictographic character. It is made up of the radical 月 (tsuki/getsu), which represents "moon" or, in this context, the "flesh" or "body", and the phonetic component 台 (dai), which provides the sound element. The combination creates the meaning of the outer layer of the body or skin.
