LIVING JAPANESE STYLE ' GOOD and BAD LUCK '

Hello this is masa at Shibuya Business Garden.


Superstition is a natural part of Japanese life and thought....


The north-east is considered "unlucky", since it is the direction 
by which  demons enter and leave, It even has a special name 
鬼門 ('Kimon')、which means "devils' gate" , and it is bad to build 
a house with the entrance facing this way.


Certain days are either lucky or unlucky, and are noted on calendars.
The most important ones are 大安 ('Tai-an') a lucky day which is 
excellent for weddings, and 仏滅 ('Butsumetsu')days in spite of 
the special low prices the offer as an inducement.
























But nowadays Japanese young people ignore or are unaware of 
many of the old beliefs.
