Explanation and Etymology - (週) shuu
週 (shuu) is a Japanese word that means "week". The word is composed of two Kanji (Japanese ideograms): the first, 週, which means "week", and the second, 期, which means "period". The origin of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Chinese calendar was introduced to Japan. At that time, the week was divided into ten days, but in 1685, during the Edo period (1603-1868), the week was standardized to seven days, as it is today. The word 週 is used in many Japanese expressions, such as 週末 (shuumatsu), which means "weekend", and 週刊 (shuukan), which means "weekly".How to Write in Japanese - (週) shuu
