◆ 2. Linked to the Twenty-Four Solar Terms
Displays indicators of the Eastern seasons, which divide the year into 24 equal parts, such as the beginning of spring, the spring equinox, the summer solstice, the heat of summer, the autumn equinox, and the winter solstice. You can feel the deepening of the seasons along with the visual gradation of colors, indicating which season and stage you are currently in.

Both the original Chinese text ("plain text") and a modern Japanese translation ("written in Japanese") that conveys its profound meaning are displayed side by side.

◆ 4. Japanese Modern Design Themed on Serenity and Harmony
