Respect for the Aged Day Quiz 1

What color is considered good for gifts given to celebrate one’s 60th birthday (kanreki)?

yellow
red

See the answer

red

Red is associated with warding off evil and misfortune. The sexagenary cycle of the calendar completes one full rotation in 60 years. When a person turns 60, they return to the year of their birth, and red became customary to symbolize returning to a “baby” state. Many people probably have a strong image of the red celebratory vest (chanchanko), don’t they?

Respect for the Aged Day Quiz ②

What is the name used to refer to the age of 80 in terms of longevity?

eightieth birthday (celebration of turning 80)
seventieth birthday

See the answer

eightieth birthday (celebration of turning 80)

Sanju is a celebration of longevity for people who turn 80 years old by the traditional age-counting method. It is also known as “Hachijūju.” The origin of the term comes from the fact that when “80” (八十) is written vertically, it resembles the character for “umbrella” (傘). With average life expectancy increasing nowadays, the number of people being celebrated has likely grown.
