The way the fabric moves

People tend to think bulls go wild because of the color red, but in reality, bulls see in monochrome and cannot distinguish colors. To protect themselves from predators, they react to unfamiliar or moving objects; due to this instinct, they charge at a fluttering cloth. Therefore, the color of the cloth is irrelevant. In bullfighting, however, red is used to evoke images of blood and danger, which serves to excite the audience rather than the bull.

hair

Byakugō refers to the long, white, right-twisting hair that grows slightly above the space between the Great Buddha’s eyebrows. It is said that the light emitted from the byakugō illuminates the world, and if extended, it is about 4.5 meters long. In Hinduism, some deities are depicted with a third eye in the same position, so it can be easy to confuse the two.

8 pieces

Because of how they look, people often assume octopuses have eight legs and squids have ten, but in fact squids also have eight legs. The two that make them appear to have ten are called tentacular arms, used for catching prey, and are counted as arms rather than legs. If you look closely, you’ll notice they differ in shape and length from the other eight, so be sure to observe them carefully.

32 pieces

A typical soccer ball is made from a total of 32 panels: 12 regular pentagons and 20 regular hexagons. However, because near-perfect sphericity is crucial for soccer balls, the number of panels was reduced to 14 for the 2006 World Cup, and has since been reduced even further to improve touch and kicking performance. When you watch soccer, paying attention to this aspect as well can make it even more enjoyable.

Tokugawa Mitsukuni

Tokugawa Mitsukuni, also known from the period drama series Mito Komon, is said to have been the first person in Japan to eat ramen. He was also known as an avid lover of noodles, and there is an anecdote that he served udon he had made himself to his retainers. In Ibaraki Prefecture, there is a dish called Mito-han Ramen, created with the aim of faithfully recreating what Tokugawa Mitsukuni ate, so if you’re interested, you should definitely give it a try.
