@thephilosopherkartik Thank you for replying even now. Your reply re-sparked my interest. So, out of curiosity, I set off on a wiki-trip. I ran across a wiki article you'd perhaps read. From that article: "The seven day week, with names for the days corresponding directly to those used in Europe, was brought to Japan around AD 800 with Buddhism calendar. The system was used for astrological purposes and little else until 1876." I'm looking into the, "...until 1876." Great day to you!

@Nu13th The seven day week, along with names for days corresponding directly to the western calendar, were brought to Japan around AD 800 along with the Buddhist calendar. The days are named after the Asian '7 Luminaries', the sun, moon, and the five planets visible to the eye (which are named after the five elements in traditional East Asian philosophy). Sorry for replying to such an old comment, but I couldn't resist!

The kanji for "day of the week" - 曜 - so complicated for such a daily word!
-
day = yo, bee! (gangsta talk)
monday = get sue
tuesday = car (get sue in the car)
wednesday = sue day
thursday = moku (goku + moe from the simpsons)
friday = family (kin = family welfare)
saturday = homework (do homework!)
sunday (my knee is ichi = nichi)
this is how I typically learn japanese.

YEAH!

Was there traditionally a seven day week in Japan or is the seven day week a Western adoption?

Now that is the first interesting question I have heard on this video. VERY good question. Unfortunately I'm not sure what came before the western 7 day calendar. I'm sure it must have been some kind of calendar linked with important religious Buddhist events though. Will have to look into that.
