Winter Brain

Bright, frigid wind bites!
Smarting winter sensation
freshens perspective.

Did You Know: Calendars

Most people in Japan use, or are familiar with, the Western calendar (seireki), but the traditional calendar is used for official documents. The traditional Japanese calendar is based on reign periods of emperors. Each time a different emperor began rule, a new counting of the years began and the period acquired a new name.
