筐体

kyoutai
cabinet, case, housing

The first character was another new one for me. On its own, it means, bamboo basket. Fascinating. It also has three Japanese-based readings (called 訓読み kun'yomi) (as opposed to kyou, the Chinese-based reading, or 音読み on'yomi): katami, kago, and hako, all meaning, again, bamboo basket.
