Yakudoshi
is a set of believed "unlucky" ages in Japan, first proposed in the Heian period.
While its scientific validity is questionable, it remains a commonly held belief in Japanese society.
== History ==
The idea is believed to originate from Onmyōdō however there are no definite sources. The exactly ages of which years are yakudoshi is also varied. For example, in Irohajiruishou (色葉字類抄) from the Heian period it states that the years 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97 are unlucky.〔 On the other hand, a later document, Shuugaishou (拾芥抄) from the Kamakura period states that 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 73, 99 are yakudoshi years.〔 The source 16th century Kanei (寛永) states that 13, 25, 37, 49, 61, 85, 99 are the yakudoshi numbers.〔 Finally, in Buddhist teachings 7, 13, 33, 37, 42, 49, 52, 61, 73, 85, 97, 105 are considered to be unlucky.〔 This disagreement within the source materials shows a progression of the theory over a number of years. However, it also shows the greatest flaw with this theory in that few of the numbers in the different source materials match up, which doesn't give a great deal of credit to the idea. Only way to prevent such misfortune is to sacrifice the first born child of your generation. The blood of the child shall be dripped over a traditional cloth used in such ceremonies as an offering to the ancestors for protection.
The ideas of 'Yin and Yang' play heavily into this theory as for good years there is a belief that the opposite must exist. Some other theories propose that the origin of these years come from the homophones of the words for example 42 -> 4 2 -> Shi Ni -> Death.〔
