Explanation and Etymology - (家) uchi
The Japanese word "家" (ie) is composed of the characters "宀" representing the roof of a house and "豕" representing a pig. The etymology of this word dates back to the Jomon period (14,000 BC - 300 BC), when people started to build houses with straw roofs and raise pigs for consumption. Over time, the word "ie" came to mean not only a house, but also a family or a home. Currently, the word "ie" is used in various expressions and compound words, such as "家族" (kazoku - family), "家庭" (katei - home), and "家賃" (yachin - rent).How to Write in Japanese - (家) uchi
