The ADTA is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2025, marking what is known as kanreki in Japan—rebirth or re-entry into childhood—as it completes a full cycle of the Chinese zodiac calendar, the Year of the Wood Snake. Known for its ability to molt, the snake symbolizes resurrection and regeneration. The oak, representing the element of wood, embodies growth, flexibility, and tolerance. The color red, often associated with luck and prosperity, holds a prominent place in kanreski celebrations - as red (aka-chan) is commonly associated with babies, and as such denotes someone going through a rebirth.
