About Taian, the luckiest day
The rokuyo are six days that repeat in order of the old lunar calendar: senshō, tomobiki, senbu, butsumetsu, taian and shakkō. Taian, meaning great peace, is the best of them for weddings, and wedding halls often charge extra or book out on those days. Few people today consult the almanac for anything else, but many still look at the printed rokuyo when they pick the day of a wedding, and the practice is a folk custom, not a rule of any religion. The dates shown follow the lunar calendar and are checked against Japanese calendars.
