Did you know that Monday comes from "moon", or that these two days actually have the same meaning in multiple languages, including Japanese?

Didn't the names of the days of the week in most languages were derived from the names of the classical planets?

Isn't it in Sailor Moon that the characters were inspired by planets?

Would it surprise you to learn that there is a connection to the Norse mythology as well?

Surely that's because Japan didn't originally have weeks of seven days?

While true, surely you know that the basic concept of a seven day week, along with all the names, came along with the adoption of the Buddhist calendar, though its use was restricted to astrological purposes until the Meiji period?
