or is a Japanese term meaning “three whites,” which originated from a Chinese term. It is generally referred to in English as "sanpaku eyes" and refers to eyes, in which the white space above or below the iris is visible. ==History== According to Chinese medical face reading, when the bottom of the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, is visible it represents physical imbalance in the body and is claimed to be present in alcoholics, drug addicts and people who over-consume sugar or grain. Conversely, when the upper sclera is visible it is said to be an indication of mental imbalance in people such as psychotics, murderers, and anyone rageful. Stress and fatigue may also be a cause.〔('' Senpaku Eyes'' ) BBC News〕 In either condition, it is believed that these people attract accidents and violence. In August 1963, macrobiotic pioneer George Ohsawa predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition.〔Tom Wolfe (18 August 1963) "Kennnedy to Bardot, Too Much Sanpaku", New York Herald Tribune〕〔Kushi, Michio and Jack, Alex. (''The Book of Macrobiotics: The Universal Way of Health, Happiness, and Peace.'' ) Oxford University Press US, 1987, p. 295〕 In 1965 Ohsawa, assisted by William Dufty, wrote ''You Are All Sanpaku'' which gave this perspective on the condition: :For thousands of years, people of the Far East have been looking into each other's eyes for signs of this dreaded condition. Any sign of sanpaku meant that a man's entire system — physical, physiological and spiritual — was out of balance. He had committed sins against the order of the universe and he was therefore sick, unhappy, insane, what the West has come to call "accident prone". The condition of sanpaku is a warning, a sign from nature, that one's life is threatened by an early and tragic end.〔Nyoiti Sakurazawa, William Dufty translator (1965) ''You Are All Sanpaku'', page 70, Citadel Press ISBN 0-8065-0728-4 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanpaku」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
