Where each day comes from
- Tenshabi
- The day heaven is said to forgive all wrongs, traditionally the luckiest day of the calendar. It falls on a set zodiac day in each season, so it comes only a few times a year.
- Ichiryu Manbaibi
- One grain becomes ten thousand: a day said to suit new beginnings. Debts are said to grow too, so some people avoid borrowing on it.
- Tiger day
- The tiger is said to travel a thousand miles and come back, so this day is chosen for trips and for money matters. It comes around every 12 days.
- Snake day
- The snake is the messenger of Benzaiten, so this day is chosen for shrine visits about money and the arts. It comes around every 12 days.
- Taian
- One of the six-day rokuyo cycle, meaning great peace. Weddings and celebrations are often set on it.
- Fujojubi
- A day on which things are said not to come to fruition. When it falls on a lucky day, some people mind and some do not.
