I have seen these two words many times and I don't know what they mean: gokyouhei gokyousei Do you know what these mean? I tried looking them up in a dictionary and it didn't have them so I tried breaking down the word to see if both parts would combine to make one word but all i kept coming up with was that "gokyou" meant "the 5 Chinese classics" and i didn't find "hei" PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! | ||

Well, without knowing in which context those words are used, it is quite difficult to guess but if you refer to the Chinese civilization, it should be  It consists to create 5 capitals in a country corresponding to the center and 4 cardinal points. It appear in Chinese Tang dynasty under an influence of Taoism (5 is the magic number for Taoists and source of everything) and imitated by Koreans and Manchus. Japanese have never created 5 capitals but divided the political center of Japan (around Nara, Kyoto and Osaka region) into 5 states (Yamato, Setsu, Kochi, Izumi, Yamashiro) while the province into 7 regions. The regime was called "Goki shichido". Best regards, | ||

Please could anyone tell me the meaning of the word "Tora"? At one time I thought it meant tiger. | ||

Welcome to our Japanese forums, Sophia. you are right. Tora means tiger and Japanese used this word after a success of the attack on Pearl Harbor as secret code. Kind regards, | ||

never mind now i found out what it meant. it was supposed to be gokyousei and go was just a prefix giving respect to the word, and kyousei means "wicked spirit". | ||

Hello there! Could you please explain to me what the words "orinasu sekai" mean ? Thanks in advance | ||

Dear Sir or madam, The original meaning of "orinasu" is "weavering" but it is used here in a metamorphical sense and means "varying" as patters of cloth, while "sekai" means "world". So "orinasu sekai" means "varying worlds". Best regards, |
