Sekki

Sekki

...In Japan, the year contains 24 sekki, days that mark the transition between seasons that have a more precise definition. For example, in January there is Shokan, which marks when the winter cold gets started, and Daikan, when the cold becomes severe. Early September has Hakuro, which is when the ground is covered with dew in the morning. The sekki mark planting times and harvests, first frosts and the spring rains...
