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

I introduce ''食'' on this time.

''The state that cereals were served in a container'' is expressed in this kanji.
From this,
we can imagine that a kanji is a letter created by the farming race.


I introduce ''噛'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
