Risshun - Birth of Spring

Today 4. February is the beginning of the spring for the year 2022. The very first season in the twenty-four seasons solar year just began.

The northern hemisphere is still in the midst of the cold and is actually in the middle of winter.

However, the signs of spring are steadily rising in the natural world, with wild plants sprouting from the melting snow and birds spawning in the nest.

In Japan, Risshun is the season, in which the bush warbler will be singing and fishes will be springing out of the melting iced water of the sea.

Spring is coming from your feet.
