It is said that if people once wrote unreadable characters or words they did not understand on paper and tied it to a pine branch, the next day furigana and annotations would be written on it, which is why the pine tree came to be called the "kanafuri pine tree." Why not take a leisurely walk and think about what education is? *Information as of October 2022.
