I introduce ''爪'' on this time.


There is the proverb that this kanji is used for.
It is a proverb that ''能ある鷹は爪を隠す/ the smart hawk covers the nail''.

"He who knows most speaks least."
We use it in a meaning same as this.


I introduce ''肘'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
