The Japanese word "主婦" is composed of two kanjis: "主" which means "master" or "owner" and "婦" which means "wife" or "married woman". Together they form the term "shufu", which means "housewife" or "wife". The word "Shufu" is often used to refer to women who are dedicated to household tasks and family care without working outside the home. It is a word that carries a traditional and culturally valued connotation in Japan, but can also be seen as a limiting for women who want to have a professional career. The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when women in the nobility were responsible for taking care of the house and children. The term "shufu" was used to refer to these women, who were considered as "ladies of the house."
