"Please stay healthy from now on."
It is an ancient Japanese custom, and refers to a year in which bad health or environmental misfortune is likely to occur.
It has been a tradition in both the West and the East to wear certain gemstones as amulets since ancient times. Give a special piece of jewelry as a celebration. Pass a milestone and welcome a new life.
Unlucky years and ward off bad luck
For women, it is 19, 33, 37, and 61 years old (kanreki), and for men, it is 25, 42, and 61 years old (kanreki). It is said that it is good to give someone who is going to have an unlucky year something that is long, seven-colored, round, or red as a talisman to ward off bad luck.
60th birthday (61 years old)
Turning 60 (61 according to the Japanese age reckoning system) is also the year when kanreki (the 60th birthday) and an unlucky year overlap. In the past, people would celebrate with a bang by wearing a red chanchanko to ward off bad luck, but nowadays red gemstones (rubies, coral, etc.) are popular instead.
