    Kanji in this term
    瓦
    かわら
    Grade: S
    kun’yomi

    /kapara/ → /kaɸara/ → /kawara/

    Probably from Sanskrit कपाल (kapāla, “cup, bowl, skull”),[1][2] possibly via Middle Chinese 迦波羅 (MC kae pa la). Along with Buddhism, roof tiles came to Japan in the Asuka period.

    Cognate with 骨, 䯊 (kawara, “a bone, particularly a covering bone such as a skull or kneecap”).

    Folk etymologies include:

    • From 変わら (kawara), the 未然形 (mizenkei, “incomplete form”) of verb 変わる (kawaru, “to change”), from the idea that tiles were produced by changing the clay into pottery through firing

    Pronunciation edit

    Noun edit
