I introduce "person" from this time.
At the first this time, I introduce "私"

This is character to express oneself.
I think that this is very important word, and this is the one of my favorite characters.

But,
The Japanese tends to omit this word.

Is it caused by the quiet character of the farming race?
Is it caused by a Japanese traditional custom to respect a partner?

Apart from that,
I feel Japanese beauty to such "secret me".


I introduce ''貴方'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
