About the Almanac

Rokuyo (Japanese almanac)

The six days: Taian, Tomobiki, Sensho, Senbu, Shakko, and Butsumetsu. These almanac notes indicate a day's fortune and are traditionally used to pick dates for weddings and funerals.

Ichiryu Manbaibi (a lucky day for new beginnings)

A day when a single seed yields ten-thousandfold. Ideal for starting new things โ€” great for opening a business, investing, or sowing seeds.

Tenshabi (the luckiest day)

The highest lucky day, when heaven forgives all wrongs. It occurs only 5โ€“6 times a year, and it is said that anything you undertake will succeed.

Tora no Hi & Mi no Hi (Tiger & Snake days)

Tora no Hi (Tiger Day) boosts wealth luck, and Mi no Hi (Snake Day) is a feast day for Benzaiten. In particular, Tsuchinoto-Mi is the strongest Benzaiten day, occurring once every 60 days.

Kamiyoshinichi (good day for shrine visits)

A day considered auspicious for shrine visits, festivals, prayers, and other Shinto matters. It is a relatively common lucky day, falling on about half the days of the year.
