1. There’s also ones for 20th, 60th, 70th, 77th, and 80th. 🤯

2. These are called 長寿祝い (longevity celebration) and are part of 敬老 culture (respect for elderly)

   – 天寿 250 years and also refers to living a full, natural life span.

   (For some reason, according to english dictionaries it also designates 250 years but I can’t find it on Japanese dictionaries)

   Edit: found it

   天寿（てんじゅ）とは、250歳（天寿）-寿命という意味もあり、「天寿を全うする」としてこの言葉が使われます。
