9/3 is bed day!This commemorative day was created by the Japan Bed Association based on the pronunciation of "gussuri" (93)
note: "gussuri" sounds like "good sleep" in English, although some debate surrounds the etymology of this word in Japanese due to this word being used in a haiku as early as 1725 (Edo period, isolationist policy).
I'm not exactly sure where "93" comes from, but it could be from "gu" sounding similar to the Japanese pronunciation of "9", with "suri" sounding like English "3." Cirno, who offers a cooled bedIt seemed like it was too hot to sleep well, so I cooled the futon...Was it unnecessary?
