【What Are the Five Solar Terms?】



These are traditional Japanese seasonal observances to pray for good health and the prosperity of one's descendants.

Introduced from China during the Nara period,
five observances were established during the Edo period:
Jin-jitsu (January 5), Jōshi (March 3), Tango (May 5), Tanabata (July 7), and Chōyō (September 9).

Decorate with seasonal flowers and plants, and celebrate the occasion with your family.

The five seasonal observances bring the rhythm of the seasons into our lives.
