Notes

The word '骨' (hone) is commonly used in both literal and metaphorical contexts in Japanese. It can refer to the physical bones in the body, as well as the structural framework of an object or concept. In idiomatic expressions, it often conveys the idea of effort or difficulty, as seen in the phrase '骨が折れる' (hone ga oreru), meaning 'to be a difficult task.'
