Etymology number: 1

Proper name [Japanese]

IPA: [kɯ̟ᵝɾe̞] Forms: [canonical] (ruby: (くれ)), Kure [romanization]
Etymology: Likely from the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 暮れる (kureru, “to set (said of the sun or moon), to get dark”), from the way that China lies to the west of Japan, in the direction of the setting sun. This may be related to the famous letter from Prince Shōtoku to Emperor Yang of Sui sent via the Japanese mission to Sui China in 607, wherein we see the first mention of Japan as the Land of the Rising Sun, and a description of China as Land of the Setting Sun: * 日出處天子致書日沒處天子無恙云云/日出处天子致书日没处天子无恙云云 : 日出處/日出处 (literally “sun + emerge + place”) here refers to Japan, while 日沒處/日没处 (literally “sun + sink + place”) refers to China. In textual Japanese, the term Kure originally referred more specifically to the ancient State of Wu (roughly analogous with the modern Jiangnan region), and later shifted to refer to China as a whole. First cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720.

  "etymology_text": "Likely from the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 暮れる (kureru, “to set (said of the sun or moon), to get dark”), from the way that China lies to the west of Japan, in the direction of the setting sun. This may be related to the famous letter from Prince Shōtoku to Emperor Yang of Sui sent via the Japanese mission to Sui China in 607, wherein we see the first mention of Japan as the Land of the Rising Sun, and a description of China as Land of the Setting Sun:\n* 日出處天子致書日沒處天子無恙云云/日出处天子致书日没处天子无恙云云\n: 日出處/日出处 (literally “sun + emerge + place”) here refers to Japan, while 日沒處/日没处 (literally “sun + sink + place”) refers to China.\nIn textual Japanese, the term Kure originally referred more specifically to the ancient State of Wu (roughly analogous with the modern Jiangnan region), and later shifted to refer to China as a whole.\nFirst cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720.",

  "etymology_text": "Likely from the 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “continuative or stem form”) of verb 暮れる (kureru, “to set (said of the sun or moon), to get dark”), from the way that China lies to the west of Japan, in the direction of the setting sun. This may be related to the famous letter from Prince Shōtoku to Emperor Yang of Sui sent via the Japanese mission to Sui China in 607, wherein we see the first mention of Japan as the Land of the Rising Sun, and a description of China as Land of the Setting Sun:\n* 日出處天子致書日沒處天子無恙云云/日出处天子致书日没处天子无恙云云\n: 日出處/日出处 (literally “sun + emerge + place”) here refers to Japan, while 日沒處/日没处 (literally “sun + sink + place”) refers to China.\nIn textual Japanese, the term Kure originally referred more specifically to the ancient State of Wu (roughly analogous with the modern Jiangnan region), and later shifted to refer to China as a whole.\nFirst cited to the Nihon Shoki of 720.",
