Explanation and Etymology - (兎に角) tonikaku
The Japanese expression 兎に角 (とにかく, Tonikaku) is used to indicate that something should be done anyway, regardless of circumstances or obstacles. The word is composed of the Kanji 兎 (usagi), which means "rabbit", and 角 (kado), which means "singing" or "angle". The origin of the expression is uncertain, but it is believed that it may have emerged from an ancient Japanese folk story in which a rabbit tries to cross a stone, but ends up falling into the water. Even so, the rabbit continues to try and, in the end, can reach the other side. The expression 兎に角, therefore, can be interpreted as a reference to the rabbit's perseverance and determination to overcome obstacles.How to Write in Japanese - (兎に角) tonikaku
