Valentine’s Day: the legend of the red thread that explains the mystery of soul mates according to Japanese culture

Since time immemorial, human beings have wanted to make sense of “love” through legends that vary according to the culture in which they were created and that are always celebrated together on Valentine’s Day.

Precisely, in ancient Japan, one of the most popular stories arose, such as the red thread of fate, the one that explains how the chemistry between two souls works from the moment they are born.

“An invisible red thread connects those who are coming to meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The red thread can be stretched, contracted or entangled, but never break”, says the legend, as published by Clarín.

The red thread connects you with your love on this Valentine’s Day

In this Asian culture there is no margin for error, since each person has their future and even love predestined.

This is why each individual has a red thread tied to their little finger that connects them with their better half, regardless of their race, beliefs, distance or time.

And it is found on this finger because the little finger represents the link of a relationship by being a link between the ulnar artery that connects the heart and the hand.

Origin of the legend of the red thread and the twin souls

In the Japanese version, Grandfather Moon is said to visit the earth every night to tie the fate of newborns with the red thread, including a future emperor and a commoner.

Legend indicates that the heir hired a witch in his childhood capable of seeing these connections to meet his wife. The old woman would have guided him to a distant town to the location of a young peasant girl who was carrying a baby.

The little boy, outraged, pushed the woman causing both of them to fall and the infant to have a large wound on her forehead, which would be his way of identifying her years later when he would know her as the daughter of a war general.

Despite being highly related to romantic love, this thread connects you with a soul mate who could be your platonic love.
