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

I introduce ''分'' on this time.

When we distinguish it a limit apart, about a thing, a number, a way of thinking,
we often use this kanji.

I introduce ''割'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
