Japanese useful idioms for which figure of Kanji is usedof Recent Article

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.
