Basic Knowledge

Difference between age and traditional age count

  • Age (Mannenrei):Age is counted starting from 0 at birth and increases by 1 with each birthday. This is the age used in modern Japanese documents.
  • Traditional age count (Kazoe-doshi):Traditional age count starts at 1 at birth and increases by 1 with each New Year's Day. This is used as the basis for age-related celebrations and unlucky ages.

Why legal age advances on the day before your birthday

According to the Law on Age Calculation and the Civil Code's period calculation rules, legal age advances at the end of the day before your birthday. This is why children born on April 1st move up to the next school grade, though in everyday usage age increases on the birthday itself.

Birthday treatment for those born on February 29th

For people born on February 29th, their birthday does not exist in non-leap years. In everyday age counting, their birthday is typically treated as March 1st in non-leap years, while legally their age advances at the end of February 28th.
