Book: Japanese Celebrations (Cherry Blossoms, Lanterns and stars!) (2007-10-07)

I read "Japanese Celebrations."
This book is good.

Japanese Celebrations

But it has some mistakes.

Juni-shi is from Chinese zodiac animals.

A mistake is in Japanese hiragana.

This hiragana Hitsuji is Hitsuji (Sheep).

This hiragana Saru is Saru (monkey).

Seijin-no-hi

Next, it's about Coming-of-Age day.

This hiragana Seijin-no is only Seijin-no.
The Seijin-no-hi has "-hi".
hi is "-hi".

Seijin-no-hi is Seijin-nohi.

Kenka-suru?

These images display O-hanami.
Hanami is a party. Japanese look at cherry blossoms in spring.

Kenka-suru is row?

Which?
row - punt
row - have a fight

He punts with the girl.
They enjoy.

Kenka-suru means "fighting" in Japanese.
This book's image is "Kogu".
"Kogu" is "punt".
