taisei

Taisei is a term that can refer to several Japanese concepts, organizations, or historical usages. Its meaning depends on the kanji and context.

In language, taisei is commonly read as taisei in compounds such as 大勢 meaning the majority or the crowd, and 大政 meaning the great government. The latter occurs in historical terms like Taisei Yōsei (大政翼賜), the wartime policy of centralizing imperial rule in Japan from 1940 to 1945.

In corporate and organizational contexts, Taisei Corporation (大成建設) is a major Japanese construction company, among the oldest and most prominent builders in the country, with extensive domestic and international projects.

The term also appears in names or place-names formed from the same kanji compounds, and may be used as a given name in modern times, though such use is uncommon. The specific meaning of taisei thus depends on its kanji and historical context.
