Explicación y Etimología - (書斎) shosai

書斎 It is a Japanese word composed of two kanjis: 書 (Sho) which means "writing" or "book" and 斎 (leaves) that can have different meanings, such as "study room", "meditation room" or "room ceremony". Together, these kanjis form the term that can be translated as "office" or "study room". The word is often used to refer to a reserved space for studies or intellectual work in a home or office. The complete etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the Japanese nobles built special rooms for study and writing of poetry. From the Edo period (1603-1868), the word began to be used more often to refer to a private space for studies and intellectual work.
