Learn about the traditional Japanese microseasonal calendar and create your very own based on your unique coordinates and ancestral heritage.
Since I was a little girl, I had been lost in my sense of identity, my place in the world, and my gifts. Who was I? Where do I feel welcome? What can I offer in this lifetime?
Choosing to be conscious to the rhythm of the traditional Japanese microseasonal calendar has very literally changed the course of my life and the way I perceive the world.
Koyomi (/kə/yō/miː/) The traditional Japanese microseasonal calendar is Japanese culture‘s playful and reliable North Star. The 72 microseasons across the year, tells the tale of our relationship with the natural world. Navigating daily life, as well as more deeply-rooted cultural practices.
Koyomi became my greatest confidant as I spent my days traveling the archipelago, exploring the Japanese art of regenerative living. As a student of personal stories, communal folklore, and indigenous legends that can be found all across the countryside, I was prompted to explore my relationship with microseasonality.
This is a meditative exploration of your hyper-local environment, highly personal ancestral background.
