Sanpaku refers to the condition when the whites of the eyes are visible beneath the iris, which gives an appearance of an almost trance-like state. It is a symptom often associated with stress, anxiety, and fatigue. Some synonyms for sanpaku include 'white eyes,' 'three whites,' 'Baja eyes,' 'dead man's eyes,' and 'inverted eyes.' In ancient Chinese and Japanese cultures, this condition was considered an indicator of poor health and impending danger. It is also a popular concept in spiritual and metaphysical circles, where it is believed to signify an imbalance in the mind, body, and soul.
