Keichitsu
by HARAYURIKO on Mar 05, 2026I've been decorating with mimosa flowers since March.
Today, the 5th, is Keichitsu (Awakening of Insects).
I love my wall calendar with a detailed astronomical calendar, and the "Taian Keichitsu" illustration is very cute.
Keichitsu signifies the time when hibernating creatures emerge from the ground.
It's also used in season words like "hatsura'i" (first thunder) and "shunrai" (spring thunder).
Seasons are the rhythm of celestial bodies, whose full extent we usually don't see.
Everything on earth has a rhythm, with awakening from hibernation and budding, and all activities eventually transform into delicious liqueur.
The world is liqueur.
