Toshu's Kanji House 2nd

Thank you for waiting. Today's guest is 身"Body".
身"Body", could you briefly introduce yourself?

I am honored to see you, my name is 身"Body".
I was born as Bronze Script that was cast in bronze wares in the Seishu era (around 1100 BC-771 BC).
My age is about 2,800.
I will be shy. (〃 ▽ 〃)

By the way, why were you born in this shape?

I, 身"Body" look like a person who has a big belly!!
Surprisingly, there is a baby in the belly. Well, I am pregnant.
(* ^ _ ^ *)

Wow, that's great. It's a mysterious, isn't it?
I thought it was the fat which is like I have in my belly.

Oh, how rude! (lol)
I came to be used to mean 身"Body" from the meaning of "Being pregnant".

You were originally a pregnant woman. (^^ ♪
Do you have any other features?

Being pregnant means I'm a woman.

It is true that men cannot give birth.
By the way, is there a word associated with 身"Body"?

Let's see.
Do you know how to read "人身受け難し、今すでに受く"?

Is it "Ninjin ukegatashi imasudeni uku..."?

Yes, You know it well!! Most people read "Jinshin" as "Ninjin"(人身).
This is the word of Buddha. It was pronounced 呉音"Goon" when Buddhism was introduced to Japan.
For example, we say 建立"built (Konryu) " a temple, but this way of reading 建立"Konryu" is also 呉音"Goon".

Here, Leciel explains the sound of kanji, Bow-Wow.
But it's a bit long, so I'll explain it on this page, Ruff-Ruff.
Please read it when you have time.

By the way, do you know what 人身受け難し今すでに受く"Ninjin ukegatashi imasudeni uku" is?

I think it means something like "It is very difficult to be born as a human, but it is great that we have already been born as a human".
I have heard it before from the director a hospital.

That's right.
This word is also the origin of "Thank you". Buddha preached the happiness of being born to human(that is difficult to be) from countless lives.
That is why people's lives are precious, and you must appreciate being born as a human and cherish your life, I think.

Very deep and wonderful words. Since I was born with great probability, I think I have to treasure this life.

GREAT WORDS!! It's the collaboration between 人"Person" and 身"Body". (⋈◍>◡<◍)。✧♡
Thank you, 身"Body".
Do you know anyone who is in a similar situation?

Let me see...so I introduce you my friend as the next guest.

Thank you.
Could you give everyone any hints?

has a bigger baby than mine in her belly.
Think about everyone!!
All the best! !

See you next time!

Here's a table of 身"Body's" profiles. So I would like you to see it, Bow-Wow!
