Tsukuru (Make/Build/Create)

Aug 18, 2016 16:14
Today, I will talk about the Kanji of "tsukuru," which mainly means "make."

"Tsukuru" has three different kanji, "作る," "造る" and "創る."

①作る
"作る" is the most common writing, and is used for relatively small, intangible, or abstract things.
For example: "朝食を作る" (make a breakfast) / "時間を作る" (make time)

②造る
"造る" is used for relatively big and tangible things.
For example: "高いビルを造る" (make/build a tall building) / "ビールを造る" (make/produce beer)

Note that if you use "造る" for beer, sake, or miso, it means a large scale production. If you make them at home, you should use "作る."

③創る
"創る" is used for new things or works of art.
For example: "新しい制度を創る" (make/create a new system) / "独創的な彫刻作品を創る" (make/create a unique sculpture)

④つくる
If it's intangible and it's difficult to choose one of above kanji, you can use "tsukuru" in Hiragana.
For example: "良好な関係をつくる" (make/establish a friendly relationship) / "町づくり" (urban development)
つくる

今日は、「つくる」という言葉の漢字について話します。

「つくる」は「作る」「造る」「創る」のように、大きく三つの漢字表記があります。

①作る
「作る」は最も一般的な表記で、比較的小さなものや、無形のもの、抽象的なものに対して用いられます。
（例：朝食を作る / 時間を作る）

②造る
「造る」は有形で比較的大きなものに対して用いられます。
（例：高いビルを造る / ビールを造る）

※ビールやお酒、味噌などに対して「造る」を用いると、醸造所での大規模な生産を意味します。自宅で小規模に作る場合は「作る」を用います。

③創る
「創る」は有形無形を問わず、新しいものや芸術作品などに対して用いられます。
（例：新しい制度を創る / 独創的な彫刻作品を創る）

④つくる
無形なもので上記のいずれの漢字も当てづらい場合は、ひらがなで「つくる」と表記されます。
（例：良好な関係をつくる / 町づくり）
