Harebutai

In most cases, everyone will have several 'harebutai' (晴れ舞台) in his/her life.

'Hare' (晴れ) usually means "sunny," but it can also mean "radiant/beaming."

In addition, 'butai' (舞台) means "stage," so the literal meaning of 'harebutai' is a "radiant stage."

In other words, it is a very important and radiant moment in one's life.

For example, an entrance ceremony, a graduation ceremony, and a wedding ceremony can be described as 'harebutai'.

Incidentally, the dressed-up and proud appearance in 'harebutai' is called 'haresugata' (晴れ姿 - "radiant appearance").
晴れ舞台

誰にでも大抵、人生に何度か「晴れ舞台」があります。

「晴れ」は通常 "sunny" を意味しますが、"radiant/beaming" を意味することもあります。

また、「舞台」は "stage" を意味するので、「晴れ舞台」の文字どおりの意味は "radiant stage" となります。

言い換えると、「人生において重要な晴れがましい場所・場面」というわけです。

例えば、「入学式」「卒業式」「結婚式」などのことを、よく「晴れ舞台」と言います。

ちなみに、晴れ舞台での着飾った姿や誇らしい姿のことを「晴れ姿」と言います。
