先勝(Sensho-)・友引(Tomobiki)・先負(Senbu)・仏滅(Butumetsu)・赤口(Shakkou)・大安(Taian)
They are called 六曜(Rokuyou) written in most calendars, even normal calendars.
Nowadays, it is included in Japanese custom. For instance, Japanese people want to get married on 大安 because its day is greatest one. Also, they avoid performing funeral ceremony on 仏滅 because its day is worst one.
In fact, 六曜 is derived from Chine but some people don’t know the fact. People who believe 六曜 are found frequently in older person.
