Sanpaku references the belief that the visibility of the white of the eye between the iris and the lower eyelid is a sign of physical and spiritual imbalance. Some consider Sanpaku eyes to denote superiority and beauty. It is a rare and significant physical characteristic.
In August 1963, macrobiotic pioneer George Ohsawa predicted that President John F. Kennedy would experience great danger because of his sanpaku condition. This was reported by Tom Wolfe in the New York Herald Tribune.
People with sanpaku eyes may also be feared to be prone to violent or disordered behaviors. Though this belief is testable, to date, no known scientific evidence validates it.

Ever heard of "Sanpaku eyes?"

I find people with eyes like this disturbing, to say the least.
I believe a recent case we had here of a Samurai sword mutilator, murderer and eventual suicide (or was it murder?) had eyes such as these.

Sorry Yummy,
That probably isn't you anyway.
I think the psychotic lunatic I referred to actually had whites showing above, not below, because he was widening his eyes in order to terrify people (and rightly so).
