How are you? I wanted to read your blog when I was away last week but could not recall your web address. :P I think I'll take note of it so that I can read it next time when I'm away again.
It's interesting to know how a single character means and is being constructed. :-)
That reminds me of another kanji. It's the kanji for ofuro. It seems to me that ofuro doesn't have much room or space. How does the red part which describes "rooms" apply in this case? oshiete itadakenaideshoka.
>Carlie Thanks for the comments. I agree with your idea. (^o^)
>momomochi Yes, 呂 of お風呂(ofuro : bath) is same as the red part of 宮(miya). I searched the history of 呂. 呂 is from the shape of the backbone. It means that the red part of 宮 has different history from 呂. I cannot understand why we use 風 (wind) and 呂(backbone) for the word 風呂(furo : bathroom) anyway... (@＿@) If I find out the answer, I'll put a comment here again!
Oh...............Really a lot's of room to Bath tube or hot tubs. It is big and small room also. You can take the experience with family the Japanese bath or hot tubs.
The blue part describes "roof" 
A house with a lot of rooms.
ReplyDelete宮 means shrine / palace
For example…
バッキンガム宮殿（bakkinngamu kyuuden）: Buckingham palace
明治神宮（meiji jinguu）: Meiji shrine
子宮（shikyuu）: uterus
This kanji is often used for Japanese family name, too.
Like 宮下（miyashita）宮本（miyamoto）宮田（miyata）宮内（miyauchi）
I like that uterus is a baby palace. :)
