Mnemonic

These heavenly correcting arrows actually come from きょうと. They hate seeing people with crooked mustaches, so they shoot them out on the regular. It just looks like they're coming from heaven because they fall out of the sky.

If you want someone to correct your teeth or mustache, just wander around きょうと, staring up at the sky. Then when you see an arrow, run for it and try to catch it with your face!
