sanzu
Did you know?
- The Japanese pronunciation サンズ ('sanzu') is phonetically identical to the 三途 ('sanzu') in 三途の川 ('Sanzu no Kawa'), the mythical river of the dead in Japanese Buddhism.
- Because the name is a foreign loanword, it is written in Katakana, the script used for non-Japanese words, rather than the standard Kanji used for native names.
- While 'sans' in English can mean 'without', a Japanese speaker seeing サンズ would only think of the character or a foreign name, as the French root is not used in Japanese.
