BLOG HOPPING TODAY WITH
Lisa introduces us to Japanese micro seasons at Japanese concept of kō. They are normally a part of a major season and should have some significance, with their own food (or fish) and specific matters happening in nature.Our challenge, to create our own major season and then a micro-season, or kō within it using the format above. Create one based on the season you find yourself in. If possible include images, artwork, drawings, photos, etc. from your community to help bring it into three dimensions.ORCreate a major and minor one within it based on a season you wish you were in. Likewise, try to find images that bring your “wishful season” into focus. This season may also be fictional.
