Explanation and Etymology - (未) hitsuji
The Japanese word 「未」 (romaji: hitsuji) is one of the 12 signs of the Chinese zodiac, known as the zodiac of the ram or sheep. This symbol not only represents a sign but is also associated with one of the cardinal directions in the traditional Chinese calendar, playing a significant role in Asian culture. 「未」 is the eighth sign in the animal cycle and is related to attributes such as kindness, compassion, and tranquility.
In the etymology of the kanji 「未」, the main radical that composes this character is related to the concept of "not yet" or "incomplete." Historically, this kanji is interpreted as the image of a growing tree, still immature, which symbolically connects to the idea of development and potential yet to be realized. Over the centuries, the use of this kanji has extended to represent the sign of the sheep, whose characteristics were seen as symbolically aligned with a state of calm and the promise of new beginnings.
Although the reading of 「未」 in general contexts is "mi," when related to the zodiac, it is pronounced "hitsuji." The reason for this reading associated with the sheep is partly influenced by the Chinese astrological system, where each sign is also connected to natural elements and seasons. The sheep relates to summer and is seen as a time of growth and preparation for the harvest. These associations lead to a broader concept of harmony and potential in the life cycle.
The cultural importance of 「未」 and its representation in the calendar are widely recognized, especially during celebrations and annual horoscopes in Asian culture. The influence of the sheep sign is often contemplated in personal decisions and event planning, given its association with patience and serenity. Furthermore, in traditional Chinese philosophy, the sign of 「未」 carries lessons of adaptability and acceptance, promoting a more generous and compassionate approach in everyday life.
