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

This time, I introduce "姉"

The left part of this kanji ''女'' expresses a woman.
Therefore, we use this kanji only for woman brothers.
I do not have woman brothers.

What kind of feelings are woman brothers ?


I introduce ''妹'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
