Reblogged this on The Joys and Worries of an East Asian Lover and commented:
I wake up and find this kanji in my twitter feed. A beautiful and useful one!
Great job with this site. You are a good japanese teacher to me!
Just an aclaration:
In the line:
“生きる – ikuru – to live, to exist”
I think is “ikiru”, not “ikuru”.
Thanks for read!
