The story goes: the wind causes dust, which gets into people's eyes, turning them blind; blind people make a living by playing the shamisen, whose body is made of cat skin, so more cats will be killed; with fewer cats, rodents will multiply; rodents nibble on tubs, so coopers will get richer. Pronunciation edit IPA(key): [ka̠ze̞ ɡa̠ ɸɯ̟ke̞ba̠ o̞ke̞ja̠ ɡa̠ mo̞ːka̠ɾɯ̟] Proverb edit 風かぜが吹ふけば桶おけ屋やが儲もうかる • (kaze ga fukeba okeya ga mōkaru) Used to point out a far-fetched or circuitous chain of events. For want of a nail the kingdom was lost. References edit “風が吹けば▲桶屋が▲儲かる”, in 漢字ぺディア [Kanjipedia][1] (in Japanese), The Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation, 2015–2025 S'identifier
