Explanation and Etymology - (持て成す) motenasu
持て成す (mote-nasu) is a Japanese expression that means "to make something prosper" or "to bring success to something". The word is composed of two kanji: 持て (mote), which means "to have" or "possess", and 成す (nasu), which means "to accomplish" or "to complete". The origin of the expression dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868), when samurai were responsible for protecting and administering the lands of their feudal lords. In order to maintain prosperity and peace in their land, samurai needed to be skilled in many areas such as agriculture, trade and crafts. When a samurai managed to make one of his activities prosper, he was praised for "mote-nasu", that is, "making something prosper". Over time, the expression came to be used in broader contexts, such as business and everyday life.How to Write in Japanese - (持て成す) motenasu
