Explanation and Etymology - (土曜) doyou

土曜 (どよう) is a Japanese word that means "Saturday". It is composed of two Kanji: 土 (do) which means "earth" and 曜 (yō) which means "day of the week". The word 土曜 has its origin in Chinese astrology, where each day of the week is associated with one of the five elements (water, fire, wood, metal, and earth) and one of the seven celestial bodies (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn). Saturday is associated with the element earth and the planet Saturn. The word 土曜 began to be used in Japan during the Heian period (794-1185), when Chinese astrology was introduced to the country. Since then, the word 土曜 is widely used in Japan to refer to Saturday.
