Explanation and Etymology - (木曜) mokuyou
木曜 (もくよう) is a Japanese word that means "Thursday". The word is composed of two Kanji: 木 (moku) which means "wood" or "tree" and 曜 (yō) which means "day of the week". The origin of the word dates back to the Chinese calendar, which assigned an element and an animal to each day of the week, as well as one of the five elements (water, fire, earth, metal, and wood). Thursday was associated with the wood element and the dragon animal. The word was adopted in Japan during the Nara period (710-794) and is still used today to refer to the fifth day of the week.How to Write in Japanese - (木曜) mokuyou
