72 Microseasons,
one luminous year
The Japanese calendar divides the year into 72 distinct periods, each lasting about five days. These microseasons mark subtle shifts in nature—the first frost, cherry blossoms opening, crickets singing.
East Meets West
Our calendar beautifully overlays the ancient Japanese 72 microseasons with the familiar Western calendar system, creating a unique hybrid that honors both traditions.
Location Specific
While rooted in Japanese tradition, microseasons can be adapted to any location, reflecting the unique environmental rhythms of different regions around the world.
Mindful Living
By marking subtle environmental changes, microseasons encourage a deeper awareness of natural cycles and seasonal transitions in our daily lives.
Customizable Design
Choose from premium materials, elegant color palettes, and display modes to create a calendar that perfectly matches your aesthetic and space.
