Explanation and Etymology - (庁) chou
庁 is a Japanese word that can be read as "chō" or "kyō". It is often used to refer to a government office or government building. The word has a complex origin, dating back to the Nara period (710-794), when Japan adopted the Chinese system of government. The original Chinese word was "ting" which meant a government building or courthouse. In Japan, the word has been adapted to "chō" or "kyō", depending on the context. The word can also be used in combination with other kanji to form compound words, such as "警察庁" (Keisatsu-chō), which means "Police Agency".How to Write in Japanese - (庁) chou
