March 20th [Vernal Equinox Day - Why is it considered the "beginning" of the year] You may be wondering, "What? The vernal equinox is the beginning of the year?" In fact, the vernal equinox has been considered an important turning point since ancient times, and in astronomy, "spring" starts on this day. The vernal equinox in 2025 will be on March 20th, and from this date to April 3rd will be the "vernal equinox" of the 24 solar terms. The length of day and night will be almost equal, and the natural world will also enter a new balance. The vernal equinox is the "middle day of the equinox." On this day, when the sun sets due west, it is said that people are closest to paradise, and people visit the graves of their ancestors to express their gratitude. As the saying goes, "The heat and cold will last until the equinox," the temperature difference is easing, and the cherry blossoms are about to bloom. In addition, Sei Shonagon, who lived in the Heian period, praised the dawn as "the best in spring!" She was captivated by the view of the purple clouds floating around as the night dawned. Furthermore, Yosa Buson, a haiku poet from the Edo period, wrote, "The sea in spring, the waves are lazy all day long." The spring air has been moving people's hearts since ancient times. And March 27th is "Sakura Day." Ariwara no Narihira wrote, "If there were no cherry blossoms, how calm spring would be." Cherry blossoms are beautiful but fleeting, and they stir our hearts every year. This is the time when the fiscal year ends and a new one begins. Why not take a new step with the energy of the spring equinox as your ally? "Spring is the perfect season to start something" - what would you start? #vernalequinoxday #equinox #cherryblossomseason #newbeginning #comingofspring

February 4th 🍃 The 72 Seasons "Eastern Wind Thawing" - A change of seasons brought by spring breezes 🍃 Today marks the first of the 72 seasons, "Eastern Wind Thawing." Although it has passed the beginning of spring and is spring according to the calendar, the cold is still severe. However, when the east wind starts to blow, the ice gradually melts and the signs of spring can be felt. The east wind is not simply the wind that blows from the east, but a general term for the wind that heralds spring. In the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, the east governs spring, so it is considered that "east wind = spring wind." In Japan, there are many beautiful words that express this wind in detail. For example, there are many words that delicately express the scenery of the wind, such as "tsubakigochi" when camellias bloom, "sakuragochi" when cherry blossoms bloom, "asagochi" that blows in the morning, and "yugochi" that blows in the evening. The eastern wind is also known to carry the scent of plum blossoms, as seen in the poem by Sugawara no Michizane, "If the east wind blows, bring the fragrance of plum blossoms." The wind known as the plum east wind (umegochi) is a gentle breeze that carries the faint scent of plum blossoms. These winds that carry spring accentuate the beauty of Japan's four seasons. Although the days of cold winds still continue, you may suddenly feel the signs of spring. Please be aware of the variations in the spring winds that begin today and try to feel them. #EasternWindThawing #ComingOfSpring #BeginningOfSpring #NameOfTheWind #ScentOfPlumBlossoms
