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

I introduce ''断'' on this time.


This kanji has a meaning to cut with an ax, too.

We often use this kanji when we completely cut something off.


I introduce ''整'' on the next time.


Thank you.
See you next time.

All of us are pieces of peace.
