Actually, your definition of moe is off; moe is used much more as an adjective, not a verb. Moe isn’t a love for something, its the description for something that contains attributes that are typically considered unique to the animation/video game world that are considered cute and are commonly used tropes for archetypes of characters.

“its broad acceptance within Japan is one aspect of the country that I do not like at all.”
Why? Explain please. Why you don’t like it AT ALL? Is it because for you “it has undertones of unhealthy obsession”? So, according to you, Japan should renounce its cultural values and follow the West instead, and be unhealthy obsessed with violence, gore and sex instead? Please, stop stereotyping and prejudicing. It’s repugnant.

Everything is clear to me now!

All the sento associations websites have 1010 in them. The national public bathhouse organization’s webpage is http://www.1010.or.jp/zenkoku/ which is better than writing zenkokuyokujyokumiai.or.jp I’ll say. I never knew why they were always 1010, but now I do! I can’t believe that I didn’t know 10/10 was Sento Day before.

On a side note, the 26th of the month is typically family bath day where children and the elderly can get in for free.

Great post! Thanks for the breakdown. I love seeing how some of these days come about. I’m getting better at the number puns but would never have figured out moe. Did you see the Japan Times story about “number coding?”
