Uke-e (Lucky period pictures)
Onmyodo, a traditional Japanese esoteric cosmology, has long been utilized as a form of divination. According to its teachings, there is a seven-year period of continuous good fortune known as uke. To celebrate someone entering this auspicious stage of life, it was customary to gift them an uke-e—a celebratory print to be displayed in the home.
