Description

Contrary to the fact that the word “Kekkō” is used in Japanese texts written in characters with the same meaning as in Chinese, in earlier records it not only retained the original meaning, but also gave birth to a new one, that of “a structure or setup” which is absent in Chinese texts. Furthermore, depending on the historical period there were differences in its usage and meaning.
