This is the website “Daily Japanese Calendar” by Japanese calendar researcher Miki Takatsuki.
Its tagline is “For a rich life where everything harmonizes.”
It features numerous columns and photographs conveying the wisdom of our ancestors embedded in the traditional Japanese calendar, the “Wagoyomi,” to people living today. Enjoy content such as insights for feeling Japan’s beautiful seasonal transitions—like the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” and “Seventy-Two Micro-Seasons” that are hard to grasp with the Gregorian calendar—and perspectives for coexisting with nature, along with introductions to Wagoyomi planners.ーーーーー

The “Japanese calendar” is not very familiar in modern society. Dividing the year into four parts—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—is called the “Four Seasons.” Further dividing these into 24 parts is called the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms,” and dividing them into 72 parts is called the “Seventy-Two Sub-Seasons.” While these divisions are very detailed, consciously incorporating the “Twenty-Four Solar Terms” or “Seventy-Two Sub-Seasons” into your daily life might be a rather interesting experience.
