February 4th, 2026–February 8th is Spring – RISSHUN (Beginning of spring)-1st KOU “Spring wind melts the ice”
Now, the lunisolar calendar comes into “Spring.” The first of the 72 KOU (micro-season) starts with RISSHUN (beginning of spring). Spring breezes blow, thawing the frozen earth.
That said, the temperature just before 7 am was -7°C and the sky was so clear.
The moon! Looks like perfectly round. As the sky brighten, it was disappearing at the Northern Alps (bottom of the image) shining in the morning glow.
The lunisolar calendar is based on the phases of the moon and the movement of the sun. This morning, which was close to a full moon, is roughly halfway through the lunar cycle, or around the 15th date.
