Explanation and Etymology - (棟) tou

The Japanese word 棟 (mune) means "roof" or "ridge". It is composed of the characters 樽 (mune), which means "box" or "barrel", and 木 (ki), which means "wood". The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese architecture began to develop. At that time, houses were built with a thatched roof supported by a wooden structure. Over time, the technique evolved and houses began to have more elaborate roofs, with ridges and eaves. The word 棟 came to be used to refer to the highest part of the roof, where the two slopes meet. Nowadays, it is used in architectural contexts and can also be used metaphorically to refer to the highest or most important point of something.
