These are Kanji idiom that expresses married couple's affection.

This time, I introduces Kanji of "Married couple" that the retrieval in the site is a lot of.
I plan to introduce these by two times.

These all are used as a idiom.

Meaning :
one's wife who has shared joys and sorrows with him all through his life.

This is Kanji idiom that means "Husband's 'Feelings of thanks and affection' to wife"

Pronunciation in Japanese : teisyu-kannpaku, teisyu-kanpaku

Example : He is a tyrant over his wife.
　　　　　　　He is a autocrat over his wife.

Note :
In Japan, there are not so many bad images to "chauvinistic husband". On the contrary, the man in Japan tends to want to boast of "Their chauvinistic husband" to other people. In Japan before several decades, Wives in Japan were being completely ruled by their husband. So, wives in Japan at that time were not able to disobey their husband.
In present Japan, the couple is equality. But, I think that there are still a lot of homes where the man seizes the initiative.

Wife's power of the married couple of a young generation in Japan is strong though this is a digression.

Meaning : Man and woman with harmonious relations.
　　　　　　　Love between very strong couples.
　　　　　　　Affection between very deep men and women.

This is Kanji idiom where "Married couple's Strong affection and ties" is described.

The bird "Hiyoku" in the China imagination is an etymology of this word.
The bird named "Hiyoku" totals the male and famale and has only "One eyes and one wing".
So, they cannot fly over the sky without existence each other.
They cannot live without existence each other.
The relation of the married couple is also the same as this "Hiyoku". Because married couples are two　person connected by love hard, the difficulty is got over.

Such a meaning is put in this word.

Japanese is rich in old idiomatic expressions consisting of four Kanji.

One Kanji often has two or more pronunciations.

I sometimes see the foreigner who is putting the tattoo by the image of the Internet. But, I occasionally find an error to them. In Japanese, there are a lot of words with the same pronunciation. Perhaps, I think that it is a cause of the mistake. Therefore, on this site, I am introducing the word not suitable to the tattoo, too.
Please understand this thing and look at my site.

Pronunciation: ekisya sannyuu

These three kinds of people are expressed in this idiom as "Ekisya".

In short, this phrase is such a meaning.

Pronunciation: mikka tennka
Meaning :"Mitsuhide Akechi" of General in ancient in Japan defeated "Nobunaga Oda" and He came into power. But, he was destroyed by "Hideyoshi Toyotomi" the only 13 days later.
This idiom arose from this famous, historical event.
"It was a very short period though seized power." This has such a meaning. This might be a little sarcastic idiom.

Example: Mr.Asou has fallen out of favor at once though he assumed the position of the Prime Minister of his wish. It is a matter of time that the Prime Minister changes into another person. His ambition will end in "mikka-tennka".

 

 

 

 

 

 

A right poster was issued immediately after he assumed the position of the Prime Minister. He is repeating the reading mistake of the Kanji many times by the answer of the Diet.
His eagerness is written in the poster.
However, his unpopularity is shown by the appearance of such a poster.

" I execute it without fail !!"
" First of all, I achieve the economic recovery !!!"

But.....The character erased by the cross is "Economic recovery".
Moreover, the character written in red is "Kanji".

"Study the Kanji before executing the economic recovery !!"

The approval rating of him only ten percent keeps falling now.
