Description for “hell in Kanji”
This etymology came from India in Buddhism. What used to be called “naraka” in Sanskrit was transcribed and transmitted to China to become “naraku”. In China, Naraka meant an underground prison, so it was omitted and became hell. It is said that the words “hell” and “naraku” were introduced to Japan.
Japanese said “Ji Goku”.
In Christianity, the place or state where unrepentant sinners go after death.
Similar concepts exist in each race, and in Greek mythology there are Tartarus and Hades. Norse mythology has Hel, which is the origin of the English word hell.
