"Dai-gu" is a Japanese word that means "carpenter". The word is composed of two kanji characters: "dai" (大) which means "big" and "kou" (工) which means "work" or "craft". The etymology of the word dates back to the Nara period (710-794), when carpentry was considered one of the six classical arts of Japan.
