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

I introduce ''顔'' on this time.

There is the definition of a lot of handsome man beautiful women now.
However,
the old people seem to have liked the face that features became bright.

From this kanji, I can imagine such history.

I introduce ''額'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
