Despite what my body is telling me, we are now in a micro-season called 'Manageable Heat' (処暑 'Shosho'). From tomorrow the traditional calendar promises us that 'heat starts to die down' (天地始粛 'tenchi hajimete samushi' - August 28th to September 1st)...let's see🤔

I'd like to take a deep dive into the Japanese Microseasons. Unfortunately, I cannot distinguish one Kanji from another, so the information needs to be in English, Dutch, German or French.

Do you know of any relevant literature?

Are you a specialist or do you happen to know a lot about this subject and would you be willing to talk to or guide me?

Please let me know!

Boosting is very much appreciated

I used to, many many years ago, post about the 24 sekki on my blog. For a long time I've considered doing so again, doing a microseason update every few days. It'd give me something to post about other than haiku.

But now I notice so many people already do. Though some of them (like spoon-tamago) hide it behind a paywall. Honestly, it makes me less excited about the idea now that it's become somewhat better known.

I may do so anyway.

I love the fact that 🇯🇵 has 72 #microseasons.

I was born during 朔風払葉 which is “north wind blows the leaves from the trees.”

Tons of #insect-themed microseasons too!

蟄虫啓戸 hibernating insects🐞 surface

菜虫化蝶 caterpillars 🐛 become butterflies 🦋

蚕起食桑 silkworms 👔 start feasting on mulberry leaves 🍃

蟷螂生 praying mantises hatch 🐣

腐草為螢 rotten grass becomes fireflies 🔥

寒蝉鳴 evening cicadas sing 🎶

蟄虫坏戸 insects hole up underground 😴

蟋蟀在戸 crickets 🦗 chirp around the door

Recalling the Taoist parable
莊周夢蝶 “Zhuang Zhou Dreams of a Butterfly” — and the tradition’s fascination with ephemerality of life, often expressed by the life cycle of insects: “To be born with the morning and gone by dusk.” 「朝生暮死」

From Ch 2 of the Zhuang Zi:

March 6-10: we enter into the early spring season of #驚蟄 or “Awakening the Insects.”

Or in Japanese micro-seasons, “Hibernating insects surface.”

驚蟄：初候，桃始華；陽和發生，自此漸盛。二候，倉庚鳴；黃鸝也。三候，鷹化為鳩。鷹，鷙鳥也。此時鷹化為鳩，至秋則鳩復化為鷹。

Today marks the beginning of the 23rd micro-season “Lesser Cold” 小寒 - entering the chilliest period of the year - so I started the day with a steaming bowl of broth 🍜
(the recommended goji berry lamb stew seemed a bit much for breakfast )
