Origin of the name “Rokuju”
“Rokujuwaii celebration” Year of 66 years in several years Show the celebration to do.
Green life celebrations are completely different in meaning from other longevity celebrations. Then why is "66 years old"? In fact, the Japan Department Store Association advocated in 2002 month of 9 is the beginning of the “Green Life Celebration”.
“60 year-end greenery” between “70 year-end 60” and “66-year old nozomi” is divided into several years of age generation, but “Law on the Stability of Employment of Elderly People” is enacted As a result, the company is obliged to continue to hire all desired employees until 65. Therefore, the celebration that is positioned as the starting line for encouraging participation in new social activities at the age of milestones between the active generation and the elderly is the origin of “Rokujuwaii”.
By the way, the congratulatory name reads “Green” as “Roku”, so it is said that “66 = Rokuroku = Green Green Life” was simplified and named “Green Life”.
May I celebrate “Retirement Celebration” and “Green Life Celebration” together?
The green life celebrationYear of 66 years in several years(= Full age 65 years old) is supposed to be a celebration.
"Counting Year"Is the age of 1 when born, and how to count the age that has been passed on to Japan for a long time when you get 1 every time the New Year comes"Mature age"Is the age of 0 when born, and 1 years after each 1 year.
In the previous section, I talked about the origin of the green life celebration.
With the introduction of the “65 retirement age” system, “full age 65” is also a year of celebration of greenery, and when retiring, “feeling of celebrating the beginning of the second life” and “thankfulness” Tell"Retirement celebration"There are also many people who are celebrated together.
[* Addendum]
At the beginning of 2002, there were many orders for “Greenery Celebration”, but in the present age when “65 retirement age” was established, the number of orders as “Retirement Celebration” increased. We will give information to customers as “Greenery celebration / Retirement celebration”.
* The age chart at our shop is indicated as “Age of full age 65”.
Reasons to choose “green” as the color for the “retirement celebration”
The key color of “Retirement Celebration” used for celebrations is “Green”.
The green color of “Rokuju” is written as “green”, so the celebration color is “green”.
In addition, it is said that “forest = green” is the color associated with “environment = ecology” from what was said to be “2002 century = century of environment” when the Japan Department Store Association advocated in 21. .
Furthermore, the psychological effect of "green" is "safety, stability and harmony", and it is also an excellent color for calming and relaxing.“Thank you so far. Please enjoy your life slowly.”Maybe there is a message.
