Question

Hint

The common thread related to the image involves numbers associated with "New Year's."

Correct Answer and Explanation

I will now announce the correct answer.

The answer was "6".

The images, from left to right, are "Mount Fuji," "Hawk," and "Eggplant."

There is a saying you might hear during the New Year: "First Fuji, Second Hawk, Third Eggplant."

This was modeled after that.

Therefore, the total is 6 (adding the kanji numbers one, two, and three).

By the way, while there are various theories regarding the origin of "First Fuji, Second Hawk, Third Eggplant," the most prominent one is that it lists things associated with Tokugawa Ieyasu from Suruga Province in order of height or good fortune: Mount Fuji (Japan's tallest) -> Hawk (Mount Ashitaka/falconry) -> Eggplant (early eggplants of Suruga).

You may not hear it often, but the numbers continue after eggplant as "Fourth Fan, Fifth Tobacco, Sixth Zato (blind masseur)," but there are no numbers beyond seven.
