Explanation and Etymology - (季刊) kikan

季刊 is a Japanese word composed of two kanji characters: 季 (ki) meaning "station" and 刊 (kan) meaning "publication". Therefore, the meaning of 季刊 is "seasonal publication" or "quarterly publication". The word is often used to describe magazines or newspapers that are published four times a year, once every season. The etymology of the word dates back to the Meiji period (1868-1912), when Japan began to embrace Western culture and the word "kan" was incorporated into the Japanese vocabulary as a term for "publication". Since then, the word "kan" has been used in various compound words to describe different types of publications, including 季刊.
