'Bless you!' I said to a 3 cm sculpture in the Tokyo National Museum. This is a netsuke in the shape of a sneezing figure, carved from wood by Miwa in the 18th century. At first, the man with the funny face didn't look like he was sneezing, but laughing to me. I learned he was sneezing by reading the label.

There's a saying in Japan that a sneeze means someone is gossiping about you. Originally, it was more specific: once means someone is badmouthing you, twice means they're making fun of you behind your back, three times means someone loves you, and four times means you're catching a cold. So, don't forget to count your sneezes from now on!

くしゃみをしたら誰かが噂しているというのはよく聞きますが、何と回数によっていろいろ違うようですね。「一に褒められ、二に憎まれ、三に惚れられ、四に風邪引く」と言って、1回なら誰かに悪口を言われ、2回なら誰かに笑いのネタにされ、3回なら誰かに惚れられ、4回なら風邪を引いたに違いないそうです。知りませんでした😉
