厄年チェッカー (厄年チェック)

日本の風習に基づいて厄年をチェックします。

Overview

Yakudoshi (厄年) are ages that Japanese tradition regards as carrying heightened misfortune. The principal calamity years (本厄) fall at 25, 42 and 61 for men and at 19, 33 and 37 for women, reckoned in traditional counting age rather than completed years. The year before is maeyaku (前厄) and the year after atoyaku (後厄), so each principal year sits inside a three-year period of caution.

About

The most consequential ages are 42 for men and 33 for women, described as taiyaku (大厄). Both are the subject of wordplay that reinforced the belief: 42 reads as shi-ni, homophone for death, and 33 as san-zan, meaning calamitous. The ages also align with life stages historically associated with health and career transition.

Observance persists through yakubarai purification rites at shrines, usually performed early in the year, and the calendar remains widely consulted when scheduling weddings, house moves and business launches.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yakudoshi (厄年) are ages considered unlucky in Japanese tradition. For men, the main calamity years (honke) are 25, 42, and 61. For women, they are 19, 33, and 37. The year before (maeyaku) and after (atoyaku) are also considered risky periods.
Which yakudoshi year is the most dangerous?
Age 42 for men (shi-ni, a homophone for 'death' in Japanese) and age 33 for women (san-zan, meaning 'terrible') are considered the most dangerous taiyaku (great calamity years). Many Japanese people take extra precautions during these ages.
What do Japanese people do during yakudoshi?
Common practices include visiting a Shinto shrine for yakubarai (calamity-warding prayers), wearing amulets, avoiding major life decisions, and distributing gifts to 'share' the bad luck. Some people carry a special purification charm throughout the year.
