summer, prosperous state, state to cover greatly

hieroglyph
The person who put on a big mask that got a decoration overhead, and move a foot and dance. Perhaps it is the figure of the shaman.

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

This time, I introduce "夏"

On the calendar, summer is ''June, July, August''.

In summer, All is powerful.
I think that the reason is because it can take a lot of solar energy in summer.


I introduced this kanji with a diffarent style before.
If styles are different, do not you think that feelings are different?

This is one of the charm of the calligraphy.


I introduce ''秋'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
