[ The 24 seasons and 72 micro-seasons ]
Now four seasons are standard, but in ancient Japan the spring, summer, fall and winter were divided into 24 seasons, and each of those 24 seasons was further divided into 3 smaller seasons of 5 days each, called the 72 micro-seasons.
This helped people sense the changing seasons.
This is the time of year when clear dew floats along the tips of flowers with a glistening white appearance.
If you take a stroll through the hills and fields during the early morning hours, you’ll discover the first glimpses of autumn twinkling in the morning sunlight.
At SUIGIAN, you can enjoy the changing nature with our dishes and cocktails.
Be sure to try them!
