Explanation and Etymology - (業) gou

The Japanese word 業 (gō) is composed of the characters 業 (Gyō) and 作 (Saku). The first character 業 (Gyō) means "business", "work" or "profession", while the second character 作 (Saku) means "creation" or "production". Together, these characters form the word 業 (gō), which can be translated as "creative work" or "artistic profession". The etymology of the word 業 (gō) dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when Japanese culture flourished and many artists and artisans were dedicated to creating works of art and crafts. At this time, the word 業 (gō) was used to describe the creative work of these artists and artisans, who were highly valued by Japanese society. Over time, the word 業 (gō) has been used to describe any kind of work or profession, not just artistic. Nowadays, the word 業 (gō) is commonly used in expressions such as 職業 (Shokugyō), which means "profession", and 仕事 (shigoto), which means "work".
