Explanation and Etymology - (背広) sebiro
The Japanese word 背広 (sebiro) is composed of two kanji characters, 背 (se) which means "back" or "posterior" and 広 (hiro) which means "wide" or "spacious". Together, they form the term that refers to a Western-style men's suit, with a jacket and pants, that is worn on formal occasions in Japan. It is believed that the word was introduced to Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), when the country was undergoing a process of modernization and westernization. The suit became popular among Japanese men as a way to demonstrate their modernity and sophistication. Currently, sebiro is worn at formal events such as weddings, funerals, and graduation ceremonies.How to Write in Japanese - (背広) sebiro
