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

I introduce ''十二月'' on this time.

12 months constitute one year.
We express them with numbers from 1 to 12.
It is very easy.

十二月 ( December ).
It is last month in one year.

On the end of the month, we clean our home and the workplace which we spent for one year more carefully.
We cleanse a place of the life with all thanks of one year and cleanse a heart.
It is preparations to greet the New Year for a clean heart.

I think that it is the one of the very good Japanese customs.


I introduce ''The name of the color'' from the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are piece of peace.
