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

I introduce ''降'' on this time.


This kanji has an opposite meaning of '' 昇 ''.

There are some kanjis having such a combination.


I introduce ''起'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
