Explanation and Etymology - (告白) kokuhaku
告白 is a Japanese word meaning "confession". It is composed of the characters 告 (koku), which means "inform" or "announce", and 白 (haku), which means "white" or "clear". The word can be used in different contexts, such as in a loving relationship, when someone confesses their feelings to another person, or in a situation where someone admits a mistake or guilt. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the practice of confessing sins became commonplace in the Buddhist religion.
