諺
Japanese proverb 諺：
袖から火事 - そでからかじ For want of a nail, the kingdom was lost. / Big trouble escalating from small and rather insignificant cause.
This proverb has its roots in the 振り袖火事, also known as the Great Fire of Meireki (明暦の大火) that took place in 1657. The cause of the fire that devastated 60-70% of the capital of Edo and claimed over 100.000 lives was determined to be a kimono sleeve that caught fire during a Buddhist ceremony.
(lit. A fire from a kimono sleeve.)
