Explanation and Etymology - (闇) yami
The Japanese word "闇" (yami) is composed of two kanji characters, "闇" which means "darkness" or "shadows". The first kanji "闇" is composed of the radical "門" (mon) which means "gate" or "entrance" and the radical "日" (hi) which means "sun" or "day". Together, they form the idea of a "closed gate" or "place where the sun doesn't shine", in other words, "darkness". The word "闇" is often used in contexts related to obscure, mysterious, or illegal things, such as "闇市場" (yami ichiba - black market) or "闇金" (yamikin - illegal loan). Additionally, the word can also be used in more poetic or metaphorical contexts, like "闇に光る星" (yami ni hikaru hoshi - star shining in the darkness). In summary, the word "闇" represents the idea of darkness or shadows, and it is composed of two kanji characters that together form the image of a closed gate or a place where the sun doesn't shine.How to Write in Japanese - (闇) yami
