Explanation

Thank you for telling me! When I looked it up, I found that “shiramitsubushi” comes from how people in ancient times would crush lice one by one that were attached to their hair to get rid of them. From there, it came to be used with the meaning of “to process things one by one from end to end without leaving anything out.” It seems to express the essence of work done carefully and one step at a time, just like painstakingly searching for and crushing tiny lice. I learned that by not turning away from the small matters in our daily lives and facing each one carefully, the fortune in our lives will also come into order.

Thank you for next time as well!
