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

I introduce ''日曜日'' on this time.

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

The kanji to express Sunday is "日 ( Sun )".

The first kanji and the last kanji are the same kanjis, but readings of them are different.
In this way, even if it is one word,
we change a reading and can use the same kanji.


I introduce ''A calendar'' from the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
