  7. Jitai...

    Perhaps some of our Judges can give us a better understanding of the concept of Jitai. JPR said that this is the "relationship between body and skin type". Can you gentlemen elaborate on this concept for us to give a clearer understanding and perhaps minimal working knowledge? Thanks in advance.
