Explanation and Etymology - (親指) oyayubi

親指 is a Japanese word that means "thumb". It is composed of two kanji characters: "親" which means "parent" or "close" and "指" which means "finger". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the culture of the Japanese noble court flourished. At that time, the thumb was considered the most important and valuable finger, as it was used to hold the calligraphy pen and to hold the sword. In addition, the thumb was often used to show respect and reverence to superiors. For this reason, the word 親指 was created to express the importance and proximity of this finger in relation to the rest of the fingers of the hand.
