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

I introduce ''折'' on this time.


This kanji has a meaning to cut with an ax.

We often use this kanji when we divide something roughly.


I introduce ''断'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
