Kanreki: Your Auspicious Years, Yakudoushi: Your Calamitous Ones (Ep. 60)

<p>Kanreki is the celebration of a 60th birthday. They’ll don a red vest, called a chanchanko, a red billowy hat, called an e-boshi and be given a white fan to hold. Yakudoshi are the ages you're believed to be more susceptible to sickness, misfortune or some other disaster.</p> <h3>Show Notes and Transcript Available</h3> <p>Visit the <a>Uncanny Japan website</a> to read <a href= "https://www.uncannyjapan.com/kanreki/">the show notes and transcript</a>.</p> <h3>Credits</h3> <p><strong>Intro and outro music</strong> by <a href= "https://instagram.com/julyan_ray">Julyan Ray Matsuura</a><br /> <strong>Traveling Through The Wonderful Universe</strong> by MusicLFiles<br /> Link: <a href= "https://filmmusic.io/song/6608-traveling-through-the-wonderful-universe" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://filmmusic.io/song/6608-traveling-through-the-wonderful-universe</a><br /> License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank" rel= "nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.uncannyjapan.com">Uncanny Japan</a> is author <a href="http://www.thersamatsuura.com/">Thersa Matsuura</a>.
