Lessening Heat

Lessening heat. The heat of summer has been forgotten. The rice has ripened and cotton flowers are in bloom. 🌾

The First Frosts

Frosting. The first frosts. Rains disappear as the maple leaves and ivy turn yellow. 🍂

The Longest Days

Reaching summer. The longest days of the year. The sun reaches its highest point, accompanied by mist and rains. A sweet woodsy dryness hangs in the air. Irises bloom and crow-dippers start to sprout. ☀️

Seed the Soil

Seeds and cereals. The time of year when people start to seed the soil. Praying mantises hatch. Rotten grass become home to fireflies. The plums become more yellow. 🌱

The First Signs of Spring

Going-out of the insects. That time of year when the first bugs surface from their hibernation. Caterpillars start their transformation to butterflies. 🦋

Rain Waters

Rain waters. Snow melts away, mist lingers in the air, and grasses begin to sprout. Trees release their first buds as the ground fills with water. 🌧

Risshun

Start of spring. Fish appear in icy ponds and the bush warblers start singing in the mountains. 🐟

The Chill Deepens

Big cold. Temperatures drop low and the chill deepens. Ice thickens on the streams. Hens huddle together and begin laying eggs. 🐔

Little Cold

Little cold. Winter chills start as the temperature quickly drops. Pheasant calls can be heard in the forest 🌡

Winter Solstice

Winter solstice. When days are the shortest in the whole year. Deer in the mountains shed their antlers, and wheat sprouts rest underneath the snow. 🌑
