Good Luck

yoshi, kichi
The ancient Chinese calendar and the Japanese classical calendar tell us good days and bad days for important events in our life. This calendar is called “roku yō.” In “roku yō,” “dai an” is regarded as a lucky day, that is, “kichi jitsu.”
You can draw a fortune lot called “omikuji” at a shrine. Draw a thin bamboo stick from a box and read the number written on the stick. You can get a small sheet of paper according to the number. If you are exceptionally lucky, it says, daikichi; if you are considerably lucky, chūkichi; and if you are moderately lucky, shōkichi. Other results? Forget about them. Whether it is accurate or not, it is, in the end, a fortune lot.
