Earth
(Used in Japanese version of five elements)
地 is the single-character element and title of the planet Earth in Chinese, old Korean Hanja, and Japanese Kanji.
Because this is a single character, the definition is a little ambiguous and can have many meanings depending on the context in which it is used. These meanings include: earth, ground, land, soil, dirt, place, territory, bottom (of a package, book, etc.), earth (one of the Japanese five elements), the region in question, the local area, skin, texture, fabric, material, weave, base, background, one's true nature, narrative (i.e. descriptive part of a story), real life, actuality, etc.
In Japanese, this Kanji can be pronounced several ways, including chi, ji, tsushi, or tsuchi.
地 is also an element of the Japanese version of the five elements (the original Chinese version uses a different version of earth).
Luo
Surname
羅 is a character that can be the Chinese surname Luo.
This can also be the Japanese surname Ra, Ami, Ai, Rou, or Ro (and a few others).
The meaning is to collect, gather, catch, or sift. It may also refer to gauze, a lightweight fabric, or thin silk.
Silk
絲 is the simplest way to write silk in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
This can also mean thread, and it is used as parts of words like “silk fabric” or “silk scarf.”
In Japanese, this can be the surname Ito.
絲 is used far more in Chinese for silk (silk comes from China) than in Japanese.
Silk Cloth
絹 is the Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja for thin, tough silk fabric, or silk cloth.
This can also be the Japanese female given name, Masami.
