[ 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.
In the season of cold winds and snowfall, when the chill in the air becomes ever more intense, that is the time which ushers in the depths of winter.
It is also the time of year when winter greeting cards are sent out.
At SUIGIAN, you can enjoy the changing nature with our dishes and cocktails.
