These are kanji symbols expressing equality and "the principles about them".

By the request of readers, I feature the kanji symbols expressing "equal, fairness, and justice" in a total of 3 times.

 

Japan until about 30 years ago might have been "Country of inequality."

• The discrimination of "man and woman" in the society.
• Discrimination of pay by sex.
• Seniority system.
• Androcracy in the home.

Mostly is decreasing in present Japan.
In addition, Discrimination in "the social standing of a family" seems to have been in the infancy of my parents.

Swallow's nest-making !

Approximately 1 month ago, swallows have made a nest outside the entrance of the apartment of my home.
This is the 4th times.

Swallows have come to build the nest in the same place From two years before.
This photograph is situation of about one month ago when swallows began to build the nest.

<The image becomes extremely big when clicked! >

 

And, swallow's nest is completed in about two weeks.

Swallow's parent birds are very sensitive to human. They did not allow to me to take their photograph quite.
They fly away when they feel sign of human.

Even the midst of having warmed their egg !

Well, after about two weeks had passed from the completion of their houses, I found something to their nests.

 

<The image becomes extremely big when clicked! >

 Can you see it?

Approximately 5 black head of children !
The parent birds carry bait for children from an early morning to the evening.

I also take care of their children every day.

A large quantity of feces which their children drop !!

And children become so big in approximately 1 week.

 

<The image becomes extremely big when clicked! >

Then, a nest begins to collapse with the weight of the children who grew up !!

Younger brother(sister !?) who was born later is pushed aside by powerful elder brothers(sister !?).

And, ....They fall.

What will happen to the child who fell?

 

The children who have fallen are brought up by I and my husband.

<The image becomes big when clicked >

 

 

Child-rearing of swallows !!

The mil worm is an insect used as bait of the fishing.
In Japan, this is sold in a pet shop.
The mil worm is an unpleasant insect !!!

But I endure it for children hard.

Well, one child fell from the nest.
And one bird fell also on the next day.

It is this photograph. Children cannot eat well at once.
It takes about 1 day until they can eat now like this photograph.

But children grow familiar with us immediately.

An appetite of children is excellent !
And, quantity of feces of children is excellent, too !!!

Growth of children is very quick.
And, the child fell again three days later.

A total of three children...

But they after having eaten a large quantity of mil worms look very happy.

 

The children do grooming.

And children become sleepy.

 

Then, one week later, they flew away from us.

When the time comes, they let a feather flap.
They were circling in the sky joyfully several times and disappeared in the sky.

My husband's eyes were wet with the tear.

Incidentally, we were making the child of swallow eat food every 15 minutes. I got the knowledge from Web.

Therefore, I took the child every day, went to the company, and worked.
The children were popular very much in my company.

Finally I introduce kanji of a "swallow" to you.

 

 

I collected kanji phrases concerning the family.

Stencil for tattoo of family of Kanji.pdf

 

The word concerning the family is unexpectedly few.
No, there may be much it.

Do you wonder that this remark of mine is prediction-like?
In fact, there is a reason in it.
It is because an idiom can be made infinitely theoretically by putting the noun of a noun "family" and others together.
The idiom about a family is made from such a reason by "a situation and necessity" in many cases.
But, they might become idioms with a strange impression as Japanese when made at random.

Please keep that in mind.

 

Now, I am going to perform the special feature of "the kanji idiom related to a family" in a total of 3 times.

I made a list.
These are all the three times schedule of "the kanji phrase concerning the family" which I am going to introduce to readers.

• kanji symbol expressing "Your family's intention and taste."

• kanji symbol expressing "Your family's state."
• kanji symbol expressing "Thought and hope to a family of you."

 

"Kazoku" included in most of these kanji phrases is the Japanese of the meaning called "the family".

Moreover, "kazoku" and "ikka" are the same meanings.

In Japanese, "kazoku" and "ikka" are used according to the situation.
But the definition of the proper use is very ambiguous.
Even if either is used, it might not be a mistake in many cases.
Japanese has many such words.

In this establishment, I can learn contact with nature.And, various experience place that can't be experienced in daily life are here.
This is a very wonderful establishment to beable to enjoy regardless of age.

This seems to be a multipurpose hall.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is a bedroom. The door that partitions the room is called "Sho-ji". Bedding is called "Huton." It is covered with the "Rectangular board made from straw" with which the floor of this room is called "Tatami."		Probably, this is supper. Please look on the left of this photograph. This is "Sukiyaki." Though sukiyaki is originally made in a large pan, such a small pan is attached to every person's meal in accommodations.		This small pan is made from thick paper. Small solid fuel is put under this pan and it is ignited. But the pan made of this paper does not burn. Moreover, soup in the pan doesn't leak either.

 

Well, this establishment has various experience courses.
I introduce some of the experience course to you.

< Raft descent >		< Hiking in clear stream >		< Mud hot water experience >
It starts with the work which makes a raft from a tire tube, a board, and a bamboo. The rescue in the ropework and the river etc. are learnt. The participants jump into the river and swim. Everybody looks very happy.		Nature observation by the walk in the swamp which is low temperature is performed in the summer. This is the hiking that "the source of a river springing out of the foot of Yo-tei-zan" becomes the aim. Encounter with the kingfisher seems to be very lucky.		In the forest which walked the mountain path for about around 20 minutes, there is a marsh of circumference 500m. This is a natural hot spring of sulfur. Because Hokkaido is a geological feature with many volcanic ashes, skin seems to become beautiful by this mud.

Meaning: One's family's name

One's family's name-ikka
[The pronunciation of the kanji sign of PDF is "Sumisu-ikka."]

Note :
Although it is said that the most numerous family name is "Smith" among U.S. family names, "The Smith family" is expressed in Japanese as the "寿美須一家."
The kanji symbols showing "Smith" can be made variously besides this.

"州魅栖", "諏実洲" ,"簾御笥"....etc.

Moreover, it is common that "ikka" is used about this "One's family's name."
It is rare that "kazoku" is used.

About the reason, it is unknown.

The Japanese idiom has many "synonyms."

 

I collected kanji phrases concerning the family.

Stencil for tattoo of family of Kanji.pdf

 

The word concerning the family is unexpectedly few.
But, it is likely to exist a lot about the idiom.

Do you wonder that this remark of mine is prediction-like?
In fact, there is a reason in it.

It is because an idiom can be made infinitely theoretically by putting the noun of a noun "family" and others together.

But, they might become idioms with a strange impression as Japanese when made at random.

Please keep that in mind.

 

Now, I am going to perform the special feature of "the kanji idiom related to a family" in a total of 3 times.

Note:

<The definition of the big family in the Japanese>

Though word "Big family" is always used in Japan, the formal definition seems not to exist.
In general, the concept of pairing with "Nuclear family" is "Extended family."

These are scientific terms that the social anthropologist named Murdoch advocated for the classification of the family form.

Japanese tattoo symbols of Big family.pdf

Although small family　as an alias of a nuclear family, and big family as an alias of an extended family may be used, It seems that it has a gap to the meaning of the extended family of an everyday language of Japan.

According to Takashi Aoki of the Japanese TV commentator, "The family of a lot of people only in parents and a child" who does not have a grandpa grandma is a definition of an extended family.

The ordinary Japanese seems to have such a sense.

Then, How many families will "a big family" be?

In Japan, The family who exceeds six person seems to be called a big family.

Well, In the census of Japan of 2000, the following results are shown.

The size of a family	The number of household
7	594,352
8	144,907
9	27,856
10	9,067

Japanese tattoo symbols of Cheerful large family.pdf

 

Meaning :
Cheerful large family;
A cheerful big family;
A cheerful extended family;
Large family merry;

Pronunciation : yo-ki-na-dai-kazoku

Note :
The Japanese "family having a lot of children" is such a family.
The child is existence such as "the treasure" for a parent !

In Japan, the number of children is decreasing year by year.
Politics of Japan uses only few budgets for the support for "child-rearing."
For it, tax payers decrease, and the finance of the country is turning worse.
And, politicians in Japan are doing a lot of luxuries.

All politicians in Japan are fools !!

The Japanese is enduring it though it is afflicted by misgovernment like this.
The reason ... Probably, they are racial traits peculiar to Japanese people.

 

The structure of the following six phrases may be expression peculiar to Japan.

It is because the word for describing a "family" has form like a "noun."

Therefore, if the word for describing a "family" is used, it will be possible to make various "idioms showing a family" besides these.
But, let's keep in mind that "the phrase that Japanese people smile wryly" may be made in that case.
