#HeikeCrabs! Ancient #JapaneseFishermen were #SeeingThings when they hauled the ancestors of these crabs out of the deep. For millenia, crab carapaces suggesting faces were considered lucky. Fishermen threw them back. In the 1300s, #Heike warriors lost a sea battle in the #InlandSea. Fishermen honored the lost #samurai with the Heike face stamped on crabs. Evolution was driven by man’s preference.
