This time, I introduce "The kanji that transformed itself into あ"

The answer is ''安''.
This character is used for my name.

This character is made from that the form that a woman is under a roof.
It would be common in old days "a woman does housework in a house, and a man works outside to feed a family".
But, it is different now.
A woman works outside, too.
A man dose housework, too.

New kanjis may be created sometime.


I introduce ''The kanji that transformed itself into い'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
