Micro-Season: "The Pheasant First Calls"

Jan 22, 2023

the pheasant cries

as if catching sight

of a mountain

-Issa

(translated by David G. Lanoue)


We have entered the micro-season of “The Pheasant First Calls”. This is the third micro-season of the mini-season Minor Cold.  The other micro-seasons within Minor Cold are:

  • The Water Dropwort Flourishes (Jan 06 - Jan 10)

  • The Springwater Holds Warmth (Jan 11 - Jan 15)

  • The Pheasant First Calls (Jan 16 - Jan 20)


In our latest post, we celebrate this season by learning about pheasants and reading haiku by Basho, Issa, and Buson.
