The word 一式 (isshiki, "one complete set") combines 一 (ichi, "one") and 式 (shiki, "form or set arrangement"); 一 changes from ichi to isshi in the compound reading.

Usage tips

  • 一式 (isshiki, "a full set") often follows a noun, as in 工具一式 (kōgu isshiki, "a full set of tools"), and can also refer to a complete outfit, so context identifies the contents.
