In Japan, the 60th birthday, known as Kanreki, is a very big deal. You can read more about it here, if you are interested. Ted was in Tokyo for a conference and some friends there hosted a birthday party for him.
We celebrate birthdays for a month, not just a day, so Ted is having a very big Kanreki.

Lots of wonderful looking food...great to celebrate for a month, must suggest that here!! Lol!!
Cool post. I'm off to find out why 60 is so special in Japan!!
THAT was interesting! Hard to understand at first, but I get it. Amazing how Japan holds onto it's traditions. Very honorable and meaningful.
Congratulations! Ted is appropriately dressed in red!
Looks like fun, the food looks good too!
