Details
The keyword for 骨 is skeleton. This kanji refers to the bones of the body, both individually and as a collective framework. It encompasses the idea of the skeletal structure that supports the body, and by extension can refer to the underlying framework or essential structure of something. It is also used figuratively to describe the core or fundamental nature of a matter, much like how a skeleton forms the foundational support beneath the surface.
