Market. [Modern Dictionary (1922)] ③ The area in which a certain product is sold. [Glossary] The Japanese word ichiba has been used since the Middle Ages. The "English-Japanese Pocket Dictionary" ( 1862 ), from the end of the Edo period, does not indicate the reading of "market," but the "Illustrated English-Japanese Dictionary with Sounds" ( 1873 ), from the early Meiji period, lists it as "market (ichi) " and "market place (ba) ." Later, with the rise of Chinese words, many Japanese words came to be read in their on-kanji readings, and this word is one of them.
