📖 Takashima Calendar

"The Takashima Calendar" (神正館 高島曆) is a calendar that not only includes the elements of a calendar year but also records information closely related to the lives of Japanese people, such as fortune and seasonal terms. This calendar was created by Takashima Seiaki and has been continuously published for over 75 years since its first edition in 1950, adhering to the philosophy of "bringing rhythm and nourishment to life through the calendar." In addition to marking the Gregorian calendar and days of the week, the Takashima Calendar can be used to confirm the lunar calendar, festive activities, auspicious and inauspicious directions, and daily fortunes, helping to determine what activities are suitable for each day and how the fortune is. It is especially used to select auspicious days for significant life events such as moving, marriage, and starting a business. Furthermore, it can also be used to infer romantic fortunes and compatibility with specific individuals based on fortune and directional auspiciousness. Currently, in addition to the Japanese version, English, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese versions are also published.

Since its first edition was published in 1950, the life calendar has been continuously published for over 75 years. The content extensively covers practical information closely related to the lives of Japanese people, including the lunar calendar, festive activities, fortune, and auspicious directions. It is often used to determine lucky dates for important life stages such as marriage and moving, as well as for compatibility divination.
