Explanation and Etymology - (半) han
The Japanese word "半" (han) means "half" or "middle". The kanji "半" is composed of the radical 二 (two) at the top and a variation of the radical 牛 (cow) at the bottom. Historically, the kanji represents the idea of dividing something into two equal parts. In Chinese and Japanese culture, "半" is widely used to indicate half of something, as in "half a day" (半日) or "half an hour" (半時). The combination of these elements suggests the idea of division and partition, encapsulating the concept of half or part of a whole.How to Write in Japanese - (半) han
