Nicola’s Little Occult Lectures: Lesson 10

The Seven Wonders

The Seven Wonders of Honjo, Edo; urban legends; school ghost stories, etc cetera...

In Japan, the phrase Seven Wonders arises when talking about peculiar phenomena with no explanation, a particular variety of stories about the supernatural. When one speaks of “wonders” in the country, they never speak of four or six but always of seven wonders. Speaking of a school’s seven wonders, one imagines scary stories. However, only the Japanese have this occult impression of “seven wonders”.

Oh, I’ve heard of the “Seven Wonders of the World”; some of you might be thinking.

True, the concept of Seven Wonders of the World also exist abroad. It refers to a group of seven colossal structures named by mathematicians in Ancient Greece.

Only in Greek does the word originally used directly translates as “something one should behold.” Coincidentally, there being seven of these led to the mistranslation of “Seven (strange) Wonders” finding a foothold in Japan.
