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

I introduce ''肩'' on this time.

''肩'' carries various things on its shoulder.
A heavy thing, an important thing, pressure,
and the hope of people is sometimes carried on the shoulder.

I introduce ''胸'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
