Explanation and Etymology - (画家) gaka
画家 is a Japanese word meaning "painter" or "artist". The word is composed of two kanji: 画 (ga) meaning "painting" or "drawing" and 家 (ka) meaning "person" or "professional". The etymology of the word goes back to the Heian period (794-1185), when painting was a highly prized art form at the imperial court. During this period, artists were called "e-kata" or "picture painters", but over time, the word "ga-ka" or "painter" became more common. Nowadays, the word is used to refer to anyone who works with visual art, including painting, drawing, engraving, among other techniques.How to Write in Japanese - (画家) gaka
