I introduce ''Seven days of a week'' from this time.
This time, I introduce "月曜日"

Seven days constitute one week.
They are called by a name same as seven heavenly bodies.

The kanji to express Monday is "月 ( moon )".


I introduce ''火曜日'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
