Solar and lunar calendars. Sensho is a good day for urgent business. Tomobiki is a bad omen for funerals and Buddhist services, and to hold a funeral on this day is said to be inviting another death.

Taian is day of good fortune in all respects, and Shakku brings bad luck in all respects except at noon.
