////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

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

The answer is ''衣''.
This is a kanji made from form of neck of clothes.

The Japanese wore a KIMONO in old days.
Foreign culture came and came to wear foreign clothes, and downtown was filled with foreign clothes.

However,
KIMONO attracts attention as a fashion again now

The scenery that the Japanese who wore KIMONO walks between high-rise buildings.

I feel it uniquely.


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


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
