Gakken New Rainbow Photo Dictionary of Proverbs and Four-Character Idioms for Beginners New, unused. I forgot that I had bought it and ended up buying two of the same book. It's unused. Although it's unused, I purchased it online, and it wasn't shrink-wrapped from the time of purchase, so please be aware of that. However, it's in good condition. ◆ Easy to understand just by looking at the photos! This book explains proverbs, four-character idioms, idioms, and historical idioms with large photos. By seeing them in photos, it becomes easier to understand the meaning of the words, and you can remember them well. For example, "Atsu ni shio (like a green vegetable with salt)". This is an example of losing energy and being dejected. In this book, we have published a photo of actually putting salt on green vegetables. The appearance of the green vegetables wilting = dejected, the origin of the word is obvious at a glance. For example, "Nurete de awa (to get millet with wet hands)". This "awa" is not soap bubbles! It's the millet grain. In this book, we have published a photo of touching millet grains with wet hands. From the appearance of a lot of millet sticking to the hands, you can understand the meaning of getting a lot without effort.
