When you look at a Japanese kanji, first comes to your mind is probably how complected it looks . But do you know that it has meanings. Today I show you one of Japanese Kanji. FALSE

False

偽・にせ・NISE

偽

What do you think of the meaning of FALSE? Let’s look at each kanji and its meaning. 人NIN means a person, 為（tame）means usually for sake of, however, the kanji originally came from two kanji, hand　手 and an elephant　象 which means that people make something fake to catch an elephant. Therefore the kanji 偽 nise means false. The origin of kanji, how the characters came to be, and meanings of kanji are quite interesting.
