I introduce ''腸'' on this time.

The bowels are the important internal organs which take nutrition in our body.
But, this kanji does not have such a meaning.
In the times when this kanji was made, the people may not have known the work of the bowels in detail.

I feel that the human research feeling is splendid.

I introduce ''臀'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
