図書 is a Japanese word meaning "book" or "publication". The first part of the word, "図" (zu), means "picture" or "drawing", while the second part, "書" (sho), means "writing" or "text". Together, the two parts form the word "図書", which refers to a book or publication that contains both text and illustrations. The word originates from the Chinese language, where "図書" is pronounced like "túshū".
