"親知らず" meaning in All languages combined

See 親知らず on Wiktionary

Proper name [Japanese]

IPA: [o̞ja̠ɕiɾa̠zɨ] Forms: 親知らず [canonical] (ruby: (おや), ()), Oyashirazu [romanization]
Etymology: Compound of 親 (oya, “parent”) + 知らず (shirazu, “not know”, classical negative form of the verb 知る (shiru, “to know”)). First cited definitively to 1595, although the place name might be based on a poem from the early 1100s. Additional information about the place name The longer version of the place name is 親不知子不知 (Oyashirazu Koshirazu, literally “not knowing parents, not knowing children”), and might come from a poem written by the wife of the samurai 平頼盛 (Taira no Yorimori) in the late 12th century, in memory of her two-year-old son who had perished there. People in those days could only bypass the cliff by traversing a narrow strip of land at sea level, and in stormy weather, huge breakers could easily sweep people away unless they held on tightly to the rocks, an act said to make them forget about their parents and/or children. The young boy had been swept away by such a wave as he and his mother traversed the base of the cliff while they fled to 五百刈 (Gohyakkari) village (currently part of present-day Nagaoka) following the Battle of Dan-no-ura. The alternative spelling 親不知 uses the 漢文 (kanbun) spelling 不知 for the shirazu portion.
