Description
The word "意匠 (isho)" is used to express the linguistic conception as design in Japanese language. In this article, we examine the meaning of the word which interpreted before it became equivalent to 'design'. The word is a Chinese loanword. Before Japanese accepted Western thinking, the word had been understood in two way. One was the meaning from the usage in classical Chinese literature. It was 'mental construction or composition' or 'artistic conception', which meant thought before painting or writing. The other was interpreted from meaning of the Chinese characters on Japanese linguistic context. They were 'mind' and 'plan'. Consequently, the word got the meaning as 'a mental plan'. Then, the word was used on the context which had no relation with painting or writing. It was not a common word at the early years in Meiji era. Nevertheless, in the middle of the Meiji era, it became common.
