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

I introduce ''喜'' on this time.

From origin of this kanji,
I can imagine that the ancient people expressed joy in the same way as us.

I introduce ''怒'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
