Explanation and Etymology - (家族) kazoku
家族 is a Japanese word that means "family" or "clan". The word is composed of two Kanji: "家" which means "house" and "族" which means "group" or "clan". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese society was organized into family clans. Each clan was led by a head of the family, who was responsible for making important decisions and representing the clan in external matters. Over time, the word "家族" came to be used to refer to any group of people related by blood or marriage. Nowadays, the word is widely used in Japan to refer to families and clans in general.How to Write in Japanese - (家族) kazoku
