16 関西 Kansai

  • Go to
  • Meaning
  • Reading
  • Context
  • Kanji Composition

Meaning

Primary

Kansai

Word Type

proper noun

Explanation

The Kansai region of Japan is the Southern Central part of Japan. It actually connects the East side of Japan (at least back in the day) to the West side, making it the "connection to the west." For our purposes, though, we should call it "Kansai."

Reading

かんさい

Explanation

Urgh, what a confusing reading! The 西 is さい instead of せい. Readings like this just make you want to sigh (さい), no?

Context
