Nature Microseasons - Kehai

Discover Japan’s 72 microseasons. Find a little room to breathe. Kehai brings you into a quiet Japanese landscape where the passing year becomes something to notice. Read a few words about the season, listen to nature, or take a moment to breathe at your own pace. In Japan’s traditional calendar, a new microseason, or kō, arrives roughly every five days. Each marks a small change in the natural world. Discover the current kō through its Japanese name, pronunciation support, and a short English seasonal note. No knowledge of Japanese is needed. Each microseason is a chance to reflect. Notice time passing and nature changing around you. Let the seasonal reading become a starting point for contemplation or your own meditation. Write a note or make a small drawing to remember what this part of the year means to you. When your mind feels busy or anxiety rises, pause with a breathing session. Choose your inhale, exhale, and session length, then follow the gentle rings without keeping count. Unwind with your own mix of nature sounds. Bring the river closer, leave room for birdsong, or add the sound of frogs. Adjust each sound separately to suit your mood. See where today fits in the year. Explore Japan’s 72 microseasons around a circular calendar, and keep the year in view with a Home Screen widget showing the date and current microseason. Follow the Moon’s phase, illumination, and place in the lunar cycle for another way to experience time. Stay for a breath, or spend a little longer with the season. ----------------------- PLEASE NOTE: You need a subscription to access all features. • After the free trial (if offered) and once your purchase is confirmed, your payment will be charged to your iTunes Account. • Subscriptions automatically renew unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. • Your account is charged for renewal within 24-hours before the current subscription period ends. • You can manage your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewals by going to your Account Settings on the App Store. • Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when you purchase a subscription to that publication. ----------------------- • Support (on X/Twitter): https://x.com/Kehai_App_iOS • Privacy Policy: https://kehai.day/app/privacy • Terms of use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
