Japanese Word of the Day

Today's word is むぼう (mubou).

As an adjective (mubou no), it means "hatless; bareheaded."
Describing a state of being (mubou de), it means "without a hat; with one's head uncovered."

In kanji (Chinese characters) it is written 無帽.A homonym is 無謀, which means "reckless(ly), rash(ly), thoughtless(ly)."

Most days I am むぼう... I'll leave it up to you to decide which kanji that should be written in.
