It's pretty crazy. But most of it is ignored today. About the only thing that is paid any attention to is when you turn 60 and your animal-element year comes again, that is considered the start of your second life and there is a big celebration.

I never even thought of that. That's really cool!

Every year I do a Japanese New Year horoscope post and mention more stuff about this cycle. I'll do it again this year around the 2nd or 3rd (give or take a few days in either direction), so keep an eye peeled for that post if you're curious for more.

I was somewhat aware of all of it. The library tended to have some kind of activity in the kids section for the animals. Usually a coloring page for each of the 12 and a chart to look up the one for their age. A lot just colored their favorite animal anyway. I also found a bit about the elements and superstitions about them, including this story, but I hadn't realized we were so close to the next cycle.
