Explanation and Etymology - (霧) kiri

The Japanese word 霧 (kiri) means "mist" or "fog". It is composed of the characters 雨 (ame), which means "rain", and 露 (tsuyu), which means "dew". The combination of these two characters suggests the image of small water droplets suspended in the air, forming a dense mist. The word 霧 originated from ancient Chinese, where it was written with the same character. The Japanese pronunciation was adapted to kiri, which is an on'yomi reading, meaning a reading based on Chinese pronunciation. The word 霧 is often used in Japanese literature and poetry to describe mysterious and evocative landscapes.
