The Japanese word 乾 (kanji) is made up of two strokes, being a horizontal stroke and a vertical stroke. His reading in Japanese is "Kansu", which can be translated as "dry", "dry", "dehydrate" or "exhaust". The etymology of the word goes back to the old period of Japan, when Chinese writing was introduced into the country. Kanji 乾 is a simplification of the Chinese character 乾, which means "heaven" or "divine". It is believed that the choice of this kanji to represent the concept of "dry" has been based on the idea that the sky is a dry and inanimate entity.
