What Are Yang Sanpaku Eyes?

“Upper-three-white eyes,” as the name suggests, refers to eyes where the iris is positioned low, with the whites of the eyes visible on the upper left and right sides. This eye shape has a unique interpretation in traditional Chinese physiognomy. It is one of the main forms of sanpaku, or three-white, eyes, where white shows on three sides of the iris.

What Yang Sanpaku Eyes Traditionally Mean

Personality

In terms of personality, people with “three-white eyes” (eyes with the whites showing above the iris) are generally considered to be treacherous and ruthless, and should not be easily provoked. They may have a strong desire for control and revenge, so extra caution is needed when interacting with them. The main types of sanpaku eyes compares this upper form with the lower one, including how each is said to affect relationships and career.

Money and Stability

In terms of wealth, people with “three white eyes” (where the whites of the eyes are visible above the iris) may have good fortune in their youth, but may face decline in their later years. This may suggest that the wealth and resources they accumulate in their youth may be lost in their later years for various reasons.

Career

In terms of career, people with three white eyes (the upper part of the eye showing more of the whites) experience significant ups and downs in their careers, making stability difficult. They may experience multiple ups and downs in the workplace, requiring them to constantly adjust their strategies and directions.

Marriage and Family

In terms of marriage, people with “three white eyes” (where the whites of the eyes are visible above the iris) may face a fate of harming their spouse and children, leading to an unhappy married life. This may be related to their sinister and vengeful nature, making it difficult for them to maintain a harmonious relationship in marriage. The opposite pattern, with white below the iris, is covered in yin sanpaku eyes and their meaning, which includes separate marriage claims for women and men.

Can Sanpaku Eyes Really Predict Your Fate?

It’s important to note that physiognomy is merely a traditional method of interpretation and cannot completely determine a person’s fate. Everyone’s destiny is influenced by a variety of factors, including personal effort and environmental changes. Therefore, one should not be overly superstitious about physiognomy, but rather maintain a positive and optimistic attitude in life and strive to achieve one’s goals. Japanese face reading takes a related view: Mizuno Nanboku’s view of the face treats it as a record of a person’s life and character.
