Explanation and Etymology - (作り) tsukuri
The word 「作り」 (tsukuri) has an etymology that traces back to the formation of Japanese characters. Composed of the kanji 「作」 which means "to do" or "to create", and the nominalizing particle 「り」, this combination gives rise to a term that suggests the act of manufacturing, creating, or constructing something. In the broader context of the Japanese language, 「作り」 can be used to refer both to the physical act of creating and to the conception of ideas or plans.
In practice, 「作り」 is often used in jargon related to creation, such as in culinary arts, referring to the arrangement or presentation of dishes. In the world of architecture or design, it can refer to the layout or structure of a work. The versatility of the expression is enhanced by its association with other words, deriving specific meanings according to the context in which it is applied. For example, 「家作り」 (ie-zukuri) is the construction of a house, showing how the same essence of the term adapts to different areas through the prefixation of nouns.
Exploring its variations, we also find the use of the verb 「作る」 (tsukuru), which is the base form of 「作り」 and carries with it the meaning of to create, to make, or to produce. This verbal variation is widely applicable in contexts where the action of crafting something is expressed, being present in both everyday and professional situations. The roots of the word reflect the creative and productive nature intrinsic to Japanese culture, which historically values craftsmanship and inventive ingenuity, fundamental principles in both the traditional period and the modern era.
