In most countries around the world, four seasons are considered. If we talk about our country, the number of seasons in India is 6. Whereas in the neighboring country China, the number of seasons is 22, but would you be surprised to know that there is a country where the number of seasons is not one or two but 72. In this country the weather changes within a short time.
This country has the maximum number of seasons
The name of the country we are talking about is Japan. Japan is known worldwide for its technology, cleanliness and order. On the other hand, this country is also known for the changing weather.
Let us tell you that generally there are only 4 seasons in Japan. Which are winter, summer, rainy and spring, but still every season included in these four seasons is divided into 6 parts here. In this way 24 secki are made in every season. Each Sekki of which is 15 days long. In this way these secki are divided into 3 ‘Ko’. In this way, a total of 72 ‘Ko’ are made in Japan. Ko means microseason which is of 5 days.
What do Japan’s microseasons represent?
Japan’s microseasons represent natural events such as wheat ripening, sprouting, crop planting, and flowering. Now the question arises that how were so many seasons created in Japan? So let us tell you that these small seasons of Japan were taken from Central Korea in the sixth century. At the same time, their names were taken from the climate of Northern China. Which was adapted as the climate of Japan by astronomer Shibukawa Shunkai in 1685. However, in view of modelisation, the government had changed this traditional calendar with 72 seasons to the Gregorian calendar. However, some rural farmers and fishermen of Japan still follow this traditional calendar.
