KANJI GUIDE
Lasting a long time. 久しぶり is what you say when you have not seen someone for a while.
Jasmine, in 茉莉花. Chosen for names almost entirely for how it looks and sounds.
Long life, and the celebration of it. The character on wedding envelopes and New Year food.
The capital, and any big city. 東京都 is the Tokyo Metropolis; 都合 is how your circumstances stand.
Splendour, the showy kind. 華やか is gorgeous; 中華 is China — the splendid centre.
