Explanation and Etymology - (高層) kousou

高層 (こうそう) is a Japanese word meaning "skyscraper" or "high building". The word consists of two Kanji: 高 (こう), which means "tall", and 層 (そう), which means "layer" or "walking". The etymology of the word dates back to the EDO period (1603-1868), when samurai houses were built with several floors to save space in densely populated urban areas. Over time, the construction of high buildings has become a trend throughout Japan, especially in urban areas such as Tokyo, Osaka and Yokohama. Currently, Japan is known to have some of the highest buildings in the world, such as Tokyo Skytree and Abeno Harukas.
