We’re Leaving Here to …

saru, kyo, ko

Today, we have an important ANNOUNCEMENT. We are leaving here to a new website. Nao and I have been talking about having a new website with an original domain. Although it seems to be a lot of work to move this completely considering all the links set here, we decided to start to post without relocating links embedded in each page. So if you click links in the new blog, you are likely to come back somewhere in this blog. We will fix the problem bit by bit.

Our new blog is at http://www.japanesecalligrapher.com/bjc/

The verb saru means “to leave.” For further information about this character, go to >>> this page of our new blog.

Generally, buying something or shopping is expressed as “ka i mono.” The verb kau means to buy. The past tense of kau is katta or kaimashita. The former is written; the latter is polite.

“Fubai un dō” is boycott.
