二十四節気

a year in Japanese

twenty-four seasons, twenty-four chapters

Japan divides the year into twenty-four micro-seasons of about fifteen days each — the start of autumn, white dew, frost descending, greater cold. This book has one chapter for each of them. It begins in August and ends the following July, and by the end of it you can read.

Written for one reader.
