Tips of Japanese Kanji ~Bird~

 

There are many varieties of birds. Today, we’re going to introduce you to the knowledge of a kanji 「鳥(tori)」, which means "Bird".

 

The kanji, 「鳥(tori)」 has changed from the following phases to the current feature below.

By the way,  crow’s eyes aren’t seen easily, is it?

As a result, 「烏(karasu)」, which means "Crow"  has transformed from 「鳥(tori)」 without the horizontal line that means eyes.

It’s interesting, isn’t it? There is a lot of other knowledge about 「鳥」.

 

Do you know a Chinese Phenix?

It’s also in POKEMON.

It has fabulous wigs. The wings blew in the breeze and swallowed largely express in the kanji, 「凡(bon)」. Plus, it combines with 「鳥(tori)」, which turns out to be the kanji 「鳳(ootori)」 whose meaning is Chinese Phenix.

Chinese Phenix exsits on the top of the roof of Kinkakuji, which is the most beautiful temple in Japan.

All right! So, today we introduced you to the knowledge of “鳥”.

Please look forward to the next time.
