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

I introduce ''乗'' on this time.

This kanji expresses "the figure of a person standing on a tree".

Did you climb a tree recently?


I introduce ''昇'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
