Question:

Why do they say it is bad luck to cut sushi into four pieces?

It is said that cutting sushi into four pieces is bad luck. For what reason is this? Is it just tradition or is there a specific reason?


Answers:

Because in Asian culture, the #4 is bad luck. The pronunciation of the number four sounds like the word "death"- so Asians avoid the number 4 if they can.
