I introduce ''歩'' on this time.

In Japan, We express that we step forward to the foot of right and left with "一歩 ( one step )".
When it is only one leg, it is ''半歩 ( half step )''.
The balance of right and left is important to walk.

I introduce ''走'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
