The Season of Winter

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Winter
***** Category: Season

*****************************
Explanation

In the category SEASON, we have to consider the problems with the Asian lunar calendar and the changes to our modern times with respect to the names of months.
A lot of these expressions remind of the Chinese lore and legends of old.

In a worldwide context, we have to consider the differences of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, see below.

. The Asian Lunar Calendar . . Reference

spring begins, February 4, risshun 立春
summer begins, May 6, rikka　立夏
autumn begins, August 8, risshuu　立秋
winter begins, November 7, rittoo　立冬

Early winter: 7 Nov – 6 Dec
Mid-winter: 7 Dec – 4 Jan
Late winter: 5 Jan – 3 Feb

. Names of old Japanese months
and the 24 solar sections ( nijuyon sekki　二十四節気 )
and the 72 seasonal points ( shichijuuni koo 七十二候 )

Winter is also a time when, according to the lunar calendar, the year comes to an end.
The 12th lunar month was the last of the old year, time for preparations of the the New Year.

WINTER, wintertime

fuyu 冬 (ふゆ) winter

gentoo 玄冬（げんとう）"winter emperor"
..... gentei 玄帝（げんてい）、genmei 玄冥 (げんめい）、tootei 冬帝（とうてい）、kokutei 黒帝（こくてい）"black emperor"
according the the theory of five elements of China
Read more about this interesting aspect of
. WKD : Deities of the Four Seasons
Tootei 冬帝（とうてい）Winter Emperor
and
Utsutahime, Utsuta-Hime 宇津田姫 /打つ田姫（うつたひめ）

santoo 三冬（さんとう）three winter divisions"
three months of spring

kyuutoo 九冬（きゅうとう） "nine winter divisions"
the 90 days of winter
(according to the lunar calendar)

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Some kigo about WINTER have their main entry in a different season and when mentioned in spring, this has to be added explicitly

xxx in winter

Northern and Southern Hemisphere

If there is not specific mention, a calendar reference kigo refers to the Northern Hemisphere as its place of origin, since haiku and the saijiki concept originates in Japan.
For the Southern Hemisphere, add six months.
For a calendar reference kigo originating in the Southern Hemisphere, add six months to get to its Northern counterpart.

The Season of Autumn

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Autumn
***** Category: Season

*****************************
Explanation

In the category SEASON, we have to consider the problems with the Asian lunar calendar and the changes to our modern times with respect to the names of months.
A lot of these expressions remind of the Chinese lore and legends of old.

In a worldwide context, we have to consider the differences of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, see below.

. The Asian Lunar Calendar . . Reference

spring begins, February 4, risshun 立春
summer begins, May 6, rikka　立夏
autumn begins, August 8, risshuu　立秋
winter begins, November 7, rittoo　立冬

Early autumn: 8 Aug – 7 Sep
Mid-autumn: 8 Sep – 7 Oct
Late autumn: 8 Oct – 6 Nov

Risshū (立秋): August 7—Beginning of autumn
Shosho (処暑): August 23—Limit of heat
Hakuro (白露): September 7—White dew
Shūbun (秋分): September 23—Autumnal equinox, middle of autumn
Kanro (寒露): October 8—Cold dew
Sōkō (霜降): October 23—Frost descent

. Names of old Japanese months
and the 24 solar sections ( nijuyon sekki　二十四節気 )
and the 72 seasonal points ( shichijuuni koo 七十二候 )

Autumn, autumntime

Northern and Southern Hemisphere

If there is not specific mention, a calendar reference kigo refers to the Northern Hemisphere as its place of origin, since haiku and the saijiki concept originates in Japan.
For the Southern Hemisphere, add six months.
For a calendar reference kigo originating in the Southern Hemisphere, add six months to get to its Northern counterpart.

Of the autumn wind blowing in the pines.

The Season of Summer

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Summer
***** Category: Season

*****************************
Explanation

In the category SEASON,
we have to consider the problems with the Asian lunar calendar and the changes to our modern times with respect to the names of months.
A lot of these expressions remind of the Chinese lore and legends of old.

In a worldwide context, we have to consider the differences of the Northern and Southern Hemisphere, see below.

. The Asian Lunar Calendar . . Reference

spring begins, February 4, risshun 立春
summer begins, May 6, rikka　立夏
autumn begins, August 8, risshuu　立秋
winter begins, November 7, rittoo　立冬

Early summer: 6 May – 5 Jun
Mid-summer: 6 Jun – 6 Jul
Late summer: 7 Jul – 7 Aug

Rikka (立夏): May 5—Beginning of summer
Shōman (小満): May 21—Grain full
Bōshu (芒種): June 6—Grain in ear
Geshi (夏至): June 21—Summer solstice, middle of summer
Shōsho (小暑): July 7—Small heat

sanpuku 三伏 (さんぷく)
three hottest ka-no-e "metal" days of summer

the third day of Ka no e 庚(かのえ)の日 after the summer solstice is
shofuku 初伏（しょふく） first ka-no-e day

the fourth day of Ka no e 庚(かのえ)の日 after the summer solstice is
chuufuku 中伏（ちゅうふく) middle ka-no-e day

the last day of Ka no e 庚(かのえ)の日 after the summer solstice is
mappuku 末伏（まっぷく） last ka-no-e day

ka-no-e, the elder brother of metal. Metal will be melted by heat
(火剋金), so these three days are unlucky.
The acutal days may differ according to ancient lore, usually the third and fourth ka-no-e day after the summer solstice and the first of autumn are counted.

On these days, you should not sow seeds or plant, have no treatment, do not go on a trip and have no sex.

These three days are somewhere during the end of july, beginning of august, in the hottest time of the year.
The Chinese characters 三伏の猛暑 are used when writing a letter of sympathy to someone on these days.
