“Seimei” is the fifth of the twenty-four seasons in the Japanese lunar calendar. This year’s “Seimei” is on April 5th.
“Seimei” means “when everything is fresh, bright, and beautiful,” and virtually, various flowers are in full bloom, and it is the season of beautiful spring flowers.
In this season, when you look up, the cherry blossoms in full bloom look like pink clouds, and the fallen petals look like a pink carpet at your feet. The whole area is dyed pink, and it is in full bloom in spring.
Furthermore, in April, the cedar pollen will subside, and you can open the windows and breathe in the fresh air. What a wonderful feeling!
By the way, April in Japan is the most changing time of the year.
The current students go up one school year, the company welcomes new staff, and various new life starts. And the environment of many people will change anew. New uniforms and bags, and maybe even commuting routes may change. We can feel a very fresh atmosphere every year in April. I think the word “Seimei” (Qingming) embodies such a fresh, beautiful, and bright atmosphere.
This April, it’s our pleasure to deliver the “Seimei”, of Japan to you. You are going to discover a wide range of “Seimei” themed homeware, stationery, and pottery, which will invite you instantly to Japan’s Fresh and beautiful springtime.
