[2026 (Reiwa 8)] Kyoto Ichibitsu-ryu Calendar of Blessings (includes auspicious days)
Regarding the blessings and benefits of original artwork and high-definition reproductions
~From Keisuke Teshima, Kyoto's Ichibitsuryu artist~
It is my sincere belief that there is no difference in the blessings and benefits between the original artwork and the high-definition reproduction products, as I pour my heart and soul into praying for each and every one of them. The various products offered on this website, "Kyoto Ichibitsuryu for Good Fortune, Protection, and Love Ties," are meticulously researched and supervised to achieve the same level of precision as my original Ichibitsuryu paintings, from the artwork itself down to the finest details, and are carefully created to express and produce their intended effect.
The specific reflection onto each product by the secretariat (responsible department), as well as the tailoring methods and procedures, involve applying specialized techniques such as "high-precision plate-making data conversion ⇒ high-definition printing, special processing/manufacturing, etc." to the full-size original artwork I created specifically for tailoring, and are carried out with utmost dedication.
I would be delighted if you could refer to this information and understand and feel reassured when making your purchase or considering our products.
<Explanation of Lucky Days Said to Bring Good Fortune>
Tensha-nich (Heavenly Forgiveness Day)
This day is said to be when "heaven forgives all sins on earth," and it is believed that everything you do will go well. It is considered the luckiest day in the Japanese calendar, occurring only 5-6 times a year. It is the best day for anything related to money, starting a new job, opening a business, buying and starting to use a new wallet, marriage, registering a marriage, and exchanging engagement gifts.
Ichiryū Manbai-bi (One Seed, Ten Thousandfold Day)
This day is said to be when a single grain of rice will grow into a rice ear with ten thousand grains, making it a lucky day where "a small thing dramatically increases" and "one becomes ten thousandfold." It is a lucky day for starting new work, opening a business, beginning a project, marriage, confessions, shopping, buying a new wallet, moving, and anything that involves spending money or that you wish to continue for a long time.
Taian (Great Peace)
Taian, as the characters suggest, means "great peace." It is a day where "anything you do throughout the day will go well," and there are no inauspicious hours. However, this does not mean that good things will happen throughout the day, but rather that it is interpreted as a day of peace and tranquility all day long, without being struck by any major troubles.
Tora no Hi (Day of the Tiger)
This is considered the luckiest day for money among all auspicious days, and it is a good day for buying lottery tickets, getting a new wallet, or starting to use a newly purchased wallet. The origin is said to be that a tiger, which is the messenger of Bishamonten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, appeared on "the hour of the tiger, on the day of the tiger, in the month of the tiger, of the year of the tiger." From the proverb "A tiger goes a thousand li and returns a thousand li," it is considered a day when "what goes out will surely return."
Tatsu no Hi (Day of the Dragon)
This is a day when the Chinese zodiac sign assigned to the day is "Tatsu" (Dragon). Since Tatsu is a mythical creature related to dragons and water, it is considered a day when those in customer service, restaurant, or water trade businesses will receive deep blessings if they worship.
