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

. 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 )



SPRING, springtime

Read more about this interesting aspect of

Seitei 青帝 Green emperor

sanshun 三春（さんしゅん）"three spring divisions"
three months of spring

kyuushun 九春（きゅうしゅん） "nine spring divisions"
the 90 days of spring
(according to the lunar calendar)




The New Year in Haiku lasts from January 1 to 15.

Shoogatsu used to co-incide with the first month of spring in the old lunar calendar, from the new moon to the full moon on the 15.

. 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.

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.
