Toshu's Kanji House 19th

Thanks for waiting.
We welcome 令"Oracle" and 和"Harmony" again this time.

Hello ~.
We, the two of us together, are Reiwa~♪(^^♪

Wow, what a beautiful harmony!

Thank you for your compliment (* ^ ^) v
Toshu-san, you know how to read in English.

What? What are you talking about? I just said what I thought.

We see. We have a question.
Do you know how we say 令和'Reiwa' in English?

It is "Reiwa" in Roman alphabet reading, right?

In English, not in Roman alphabet reading.
Toshu-san said it in Japanese a while ago.

Utsukushii Harmony?

In English?

Beautiful Harmony?

Ding Dong!!

I didn't know that.💦

Oh, We see.
We are very happy to hear that it is a beautiful harmony. (* ^ ^) v

Please let me, 和"Harmony", talk from now on.

Oh, your tone has changed.

It's always like this when I talk alone. (^ _ -) - ☆
In fact, after being announced as令和'Reiwa', overseas media first described令和'Reiwa' as "order(秩序) and harmony(調和)" or "order(秩序) and peace(平和)".
And there were many cases where 令"Oracle" was reported as the meaning of "order(命令)" or "Command(指令)"

People used to say, "good", "auspicious ", and "beautiful" as well.
(^ ^) /

In order to convey the correct meaning of令和'Reiwa' to people overseas, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the meaning of令和'Reiwa' as "Beautiful Harmony"

Oh, I see!
What a beautiful expression! (^^ ♪
By the way, when you heard that 令'rei' was reported overseas as 命令'order', what did you think?
I was a little worried about the story of the last time you were lost.

Well, I didn't mind at all.
I experienced it before in the Edo period, so when I heard the word命令'order' this time, I thought, "Hmmm...that's interesting. People think about the same things in the different way!".

Experiencing is really important.
Having various experiences makes you stronger little by little.

That's right. Human beings live to be around 100 years old at most.
As I am about 3300 years old, I would like you to take on various challenges and gain more experience in your life.

Yes!!
We humans are very afraid of change.
But this world is moving! I want to experience a lot without being afraid of change.
(* ^ ^) v

We are supporting you!
By the way, 令和'Reiwa' contains various thoughts.

Come to think of it, Prime Minister Abe said in his statement announcing the new era, 令和'Reiwa' has the meaning that culture is born and grown while people are beatifully close together.

He also said, "I want to make Japan a country where each and each Japanese person can make their own flowers bloom with hope for tomorrow.".

It's really wonderful.
I think that each flower blooms greatly only when you are in harmony with yourself.
I wondered if it would create a great peace by connecting with everyone and
the peace of mind of each person would lead to world peace. (^ ^ ♪

We will work hard to ensure that the era of令和'Reiwa' leads to world peace with beautiful harmony.

I am counting on you. (^^♪

Leciel also talks to many friends, Bow-Wow!!

Yeah. Humans aren't the only ones living on earth.
Leciel, let's do it together!!

Leave it to me, Ruff-Ruff!
By the way, 令"Oracle", Why are you fidgeting, Bow-Wow?

I brought a picture, so I was watching the timing to take it out. (* ^ ^) v

Wow, I've been looking forward to it.
Please show it to me. (^ _ -) - ☆

Yes, here you are.
Ta-da ta-da ~!!!

 

<Photo of the celebration>
(Companions of 万葉集'Manyoshu')
*Manyo-shu, which literally means a collection of ten-thousand leaves, is the oldest anthology of poems from the 8th century. The collection includes not only poems read by nobles, but ones by people of lower classes such as farmers and warriors. It actually contains about 4,500 poems.

Everyone seems to be having fun.
令"Oracle", you look a little shy.

Did you notice?
It was my first time, so I was nervous. "(-" "-)"

和"Harmony", you were very proud.

I was still embarrassed, too.

Everyone was there and it's a wonderful picture.
It looks very fun.

It was really fun. (^^y
Then we would like to ask you something.
At the celebration the other day, all the participants wanted to perform in "Toshu's Kanji House", so we were very excited talking about it. Could you invite everyone as a guest?

That makes me happy too!
I would like everyone to come!

Thank you!
Everyone will be happy!
Actually, we've decided the order, so we'll go in the order of poetry.
Actually, "" has already stand by.

The source of "Reiwa" is the following 和歌'Waka', Bow-Wow!
「初春の令月にして、気淑く風和ぎ、梅は鏡前の粉を披き、蘭は珮後の香を薫す」(Shoshun no reigetsu ni shite kiyoku kaze yawaragi ume wa kyouzen no ko wo hiraki, ran wa haigo no kou wo kaorasu)
Meaning : It was in the pleasant month of early spring, when the air was soft and the wind was balmy. The plum-blossoms were white like the powder in front of a looking-glass, and orchid scattered odour like the fragrance left after an incense-casket.

So I guess everyone knows who is the next guest!
Thank you very much for today, 令"Oracle" and 和"Harmony".
I think you will be busy again this year, but I sincerely hope you two will be successful!!

We will do our best to make everyone happy, so please support us!!

Toshu's Kanji House 20th is here.
