Explanation and Etymology - (象) shou
The Japanese word "象" (zou) means "elephant" in English. The etymology of the word goes back to ancient Chinese, where the original character represented a stylized elephant. Over time, the meaning extended to include the concept of "resemblance" or "imitation", and the word came to be used to refer to anything resembling an elephant, such as a tall tower or a burly person. In the Japanese language, "象" is often used in art-related contexts, such as carving elephants out of wood or painting landscapes with elephants.How to Write in Japanese - (象) shou
