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

There is a saying in Japan that when you sneeze, someone is gossiping about you, but originally that was more specific, i.e., when you sneeze once, someone is badmouthing you, twice, someone is making fun of you behind your back, three times, someone loves you, and four times, you must have caught a cold. So, from now on, don't forget to count how many times you have sneezed😆!
If you love netsuke, read the posts listed below under the photos!

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😉
