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

I introduce ''投'' on this time.

In old days,
this kanji had a meaning to ''throw to stay in the other party''.

Recently, It is often that this kanji means ''merely throw".

I introduce ''打'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
