房

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: 房 (ふさ) names either a hanging bunch, as with grapes, or a decorative tassel.
• Basic usage: It counts grapes in 一房 and describes an ornament in phrases such as 金色の房.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• A bunch and a tassel
  • The same form covers a clustered bunch and an ornament, so the accompanying object determines the sense.
