The Season of Spring

***** Location: Japan
***** Season: Spring
***** 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 spring : February 4 to March 5
Mid-spring : March 6 to April 4
Late spring : April 5 to May 5


Risshun (立春): February 4—Beginning of spring
Usui (雨水): February 19—Rain water
Keichitsu (啓蟄): March 5—awakening of hibernated (insects)
Shunbun (春分): March 20—Vernal equinox, middle of spring
Seimei (清明): April 5—Clear and bright
Kokuu (穀雨): April 20—Grain rain

and the 72 seasonal points ( shichijuuni koo 七十二候 )

more kigo about
. Sunset in Haiku


揚土のいかにも春の日也けり
agetsuchi no ika ni mo haru no hi nari keri

piles of freshly
dug earth on this
utterly spring day
tr. Chris Drake

This hokku is from 1/20 (Feb. 19) in 1805, when Issa was living in the city of Edo. Perhaps he sees piles of earth excavated at a new construction site or earth waiting to be used in a landfill -- the land area of Edo was constantly being increased by landfills that extended out into Edo Bay, now Tokyo Bay.
Or perhaps one of the many moats and canals in Edo is being dredged. Or perhaps farmers are preparing a new field on the edge of Edo. In any case, the piles of fresh earth rising near the street or bridge or embankment seem to suggest expansive openness, the earth's returning warmth and various scents, and the increasing expectations people have for the future, all of which are associated with what we usually think of when we speak of spring.

Worldwide use

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.

feen フェーン foehn wind
..... fuuen, fuu-en 風炎（ふうえん）
..... fuuen fuu-en 風焔（ふうえん）
from the german Föhn; Föhnwind

quote

A foehn wind or föhn wind is a type of dry down-slope wind which occurs in the lee of a mountain range. It is a rain shadow wind which results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air which has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes.
Föhn winds can raise temperatures by as much as 30°C in just a matter of hours.
