Hokuto Shichi Sei

Hokuto Shichi Sei

"Hokuto Shichi Sei" (North Dipper Seven Stars), also known as the Big Dipper, is an old Chinese asterism (sub-constellation). These seven stars, a part of the Greek constellation Ursa Major (The Great Bear), are Benetnash, Mizar, Alioth, Megrez, Phekda, Merak and Dubhe.
Next to the Dipper is a small star called Shichō-Sei. It is the Death Omen Star. Any who can see it are fated to die within one year. This star actually exists, but in reality it was used to test the eyesight of warriors in ancient Arabia.
