Explanation and Etymology - (点線) tensen
The Japanese word 「点線」 (tensen) is composed of two kanji: 「点」 and 「線」. The first, 「点」 (ten), means "point" or "mark" and generally expresses the idea of something small or individual. This kanji can be found in other words such as 「点数」 (tensuu), which means "score." The second kanji, 「線」 (sen), means "line" or "track," and is used in words like 「直線」 (chokusen), which means "straight line." Together, 「点線」 refers to "dotted line."
In practice, a dotted line is used in various contexts, both in writing and in art, to represent separation or a way to indicate sequence or cutting. For example, in maps or graphs, a 「点線」 can indicate paths or invisible boundaries. The use of this type of line is also quite common in cutting instructions in craft projects, where a 「点線」 suggests where to cut.
Besides its etymology, 「点線」 has a striking presence in everyday life. It is common to find this expression in educational materials, where examples of dotted lines are provided for children's character writing practice. The dotted lines serve as visual guides, aiding the practice of precise and controlled writing. This element is also present in graphic design and modeling, where the „tensen” helps to divide and organize visual elements clearly.
