Explanation and Etymology - (切手) kite

切手 (kitte) is a Japanese word meaning "postal seal". The word is composed of the characters 切 (ki) which means "cut" and 手 (te) which means "hand". The etymology of the word dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan began to issue postal stamps. At the time, the seals were sold on leaves and people needed to cut them individually with their hands before using them. Therefore, the word 切手 (kitte) was created to describe these handed seals. Since then, the word has become the standard way to refer to postcards in Japan.
