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

I introduce ''捨'' on this time.

In Japan, there is a custom called the general cleaning.
In December before reaching New Year's Day, we throw away the various things which we felt in one year.

They are garbage and do not need it.
They are memories, and it is regret.

We clean the room and the feeling.
We greet the New Year with a clean room and a fresh feeling.

I introduce ''投'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
