Nihon no Nijushi Sekki Nurie: Kantan ni Kirihanashite Sugu ni Tanoshimeru 48 Egara!(Japanese)

A coloring book by Masaru Anzai based on the 24 solar terms, the traditional way of dividing the year into 24 parts by the movement of the sun. Until Japan adopted the solar calendar in the Meiji era, people lived by a calendar that combined the sun and the phases of the moon, and the 24 solar terms served as a guide to the real seasons. The pictures show the nature of each term. Risshun, in early to mid February, marks the start of spring, when bush warblers begin to sing and plum blossoms open. Geshi, the summer solstice, falls in late June to early July, when natsumikan citrus are in season. There are 48 designs on pages that tear out easily. The back of each page has short notes about its solar term.

Translated from the Japanese original.
