Feeling for "壊 kowasu"



The word "壊 kowasu" means destruction.
However, I would intentionally like to subtitle it "departure".

When we are starting something new, we hesitate to no small extent. It's because the current
environment around us may drastically change. I believe you are not prepared if you proceed to something new without making a sacrifice.





I believe it's a true "departure" if we have determination and courage to break the present.
When we are not afraid of the risk of losing something important, a new world will unfold.

By coincidence, "壊 kowasu" is pronounced "kai" in the Chinese-derived reading, linking to "開 kai"
