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

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

Exactly, one of the most popular stories originated in ancient Japan, such as the red thread of destiny, which explains how the chemistry works between two souls from the moment they are born.

“An invisible thread connects those who meet, regardless of time, place or circumstances. The thread can be stretched, contracted or tangled, but it never breaks,” says the legend, as published by Clarín.

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

There is no room for error in this Asian culture as each person has their future and even love predetermined.

This is why every individual has a red thread tied to their little finger that connects them to their significant other 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 hand.

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

In the Japanese version, Grandfather Moon would visit Earth every night to connect the fates of newborns to the common thread, including a future emperor and a commoner.

According to legend, in his youth the heir hired a witch who was able to see these connections to meet his wife. The old woman is said to have led him to a remote town to the location of a young peasant girl who was carrying a baby.

The little boy, enraged, pushed the woman causing them both to fall and the child to receive a large wound on her forehead, which would be his way of identifying her years later when he knew her to be the daughter of a war general.

Despite being strongly related to romantic love, this thread connects you with a soulmate who could be your platonic love.
