Sorry, I mixed it up with four, man...

Shi- is tied to death and in Japanese counting, ichi, ni, san, SHI (=4) is the bad guy.

Sorry and thanks for catching this goof by me, Ten. Of course you have the cultural background to do so as well. :)

No 4th stories in hotels or pagodas, 4 is equal to death and so forth.

(Seven is a lucky number, though).

Spent too much time in Italy, I guess.
