Forehead - Forehead

Japanese: ひたい(額) - ひたい
Forehead - Forehead
A name for a part of the forehead. It was only after the Heian period that it came to be called "hitai"; before that it was called "nuka." "My sister's forehead was covered with a sore on the saddle of the sugoroku bull" (Man'yoshu, Volume 16, 3838). The Chinese "kowtow ceremony," in which one bows with one's forehead on the ground to deities and Buddhas, is called "nukazuki" in Japan. The rice pounding bug was called nukazukimushi. In the Wagokuhen, the words so, sen, tsui, and tei refer to the forehead, but the forehead is not raised.

Japanese:
前頭部の一部の称。これを〈ひたい〉と呼ぶようになったのは平安時代以降で,それ以前は〈ぬか〉と言った。〈我妹子(わぎもこ)が額(ぬか)に生ひたる双六(すぐろく)の牡牛(こといのうし)の鞍の上の瘡(かさ)〉(《万葉集》巻十六,3838)。額を地につけて神仏などを拝礼する中国の〈叩頭礼〉は日本では〈額突(ぬかず)き〉である。米搗虫(こめつきむし)は叩頭虫(ぬかずきむし)と呼ばれた。《和玉篇(わごくへん)》では顙(そう),(せん),(つい),題(てい)をひたいのこととしているが額をあげていない。
