    Qué hermoso. "El cielo siempre rodea a la gente sencilla" -.- Tan sencilla y tan elegante.
    Arigato -.-

    In this script, the radical really looks like a cave -- complete with curtains for a door.

    The upper part of the Kanzi looks like blue sky-dome or the darkness of the night sky above... :)
