The thai-Buddhist calendar starts from the he year Buddha is thought to have died. Pretty cool! Any other calendars that you follow?

Ah I love the 72 season idea of Japnese calendar. It's so weird that we try to fit everything in just 4 tbh

I’ve never heard of that in the Japanese context but it seems it was adapted by the court from the Chinese system, as everything was.

That’s part of what makes the lunar calendar so confusing. I don’t think this is used in Japan anymore. Maybe in some religious tradition? But I doubt it.

It is interesting! Thanks for sharing
