What is Kanreki?

Kanreki is a traditional Japanese ceremony to celebrate the "60th birthday".

Since the zodiac (Eto) goes through a cycle every 60 years, it is called "Kanreki" because it returns to the zodiac sign of the year of birth (= "the calendar returns").

■ The meaning of red chanchanko

1. Red is the color of "protection"

Since ancient times, red has been believed to have the power to "ward off evil spirits" and "avoid illness and disasters".

On the 60th birthday, a year of rebirth, people wear red clothing as a talisman to ward off evil spirits, signifying that they have become babies again.

2. Returning to being a baby = "returning to babyhood"

The 60th birthday is a turning point in life and is considered the "beginning of a second life."

For this reason, there is a custom of wearing a "red chanchanko" (like a baby's swaddling clothes) to signify returning to a baby-like existence.

3. A symbol of longevity celebration

The red chanchanko is also a symbol of longevity, and is imbued with the wish for a long and healthy life.
