I introduce ''舌'' on this time.

This kanji has a meaning to "move freely".
When a tongue does not move freely,
We cannot talk well, cannot eat well and cannot taste it.

When it moves freely, the tongue becomes "舌".

I introduce ''歯'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
