※ Thank you for reaction. By the way. I talked before that in Japan, each month has a Japanese name, and I'd like to introduce of them again this time. First of all, Japanese month names are the Japanese names for January through December, and because they correspond to the seasons and events of the lunar calendar, they are off by about one to two months from the current seasonal feeling. January in the lunar calendar corresponds to around February today. In other words, November is called "Shimotsuki," but the original November called "Shimotsuki" is around December. So It is generally called "Shimo-tsuki (frost month)" or "Shimo-furi-Zuki (frost fall month)". as it is the time when frost time. (But, the original October is November in the solar calendar, so some people call November "Kanna-zuki.") Also there are various other names. I will introduce some of them . "Kami-kaeri-zuki (god return month)" and "Kami-ki-zuki (god comes month)": The gods who gathered at Izumo Taisha Shrine in "Kannazuki" (October) return to their original places. "Kagura-zuki (shintou music and dancing month)": People celebrate the rice harvest, play Kagura, invite the gods, congratulations, and play with the gods. Also, November in the lunar calendar is the winter solstice, the gods were thought to be declining, so Kagura was performed to invite and cheer up the gods. "Yuki-machi-zuki (Snow Waiting Month)": Snow was said to be a sign of a good harvest, and was considered auspicious, so people looked forward to the snow and held snow-viewing parties on snowy days. The name was given from this situation. In the past, people cherished November as a month to celebrate the harvest and give thanks to the gods. So even today, religious ceremonies, Kagura, events, and festivals are held at various shrines and temples.
