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

I introduce ''壊'' on this time.

This kanji expresses that ''the soil wall of the castle is broken''.

When an artifact loses the form and function,
we often use this kanji.

I introduce ''崩'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
