Kisaragi

"Kisaragi" has not such a deep meaning as the other names of the months. You write this as "wearing kimonos over" in *Kanji, but this is not the right meaning of the name of this month. It means "the rehabilitation of plants". February is the second month of the year. In the lunar calendar, it is thought that February is the second month of winter. In the *lunar calendar, January, February, March are winter, and three months from April is spring. Perhaps,people thought that February was the middle of winter and spring.

• Kanji is a letter that is made in China thousand years ago, and it spread later in Japan.

• Lunar Calendar was often used in the period of "Heian". "Heian" is a period of about 1600 years ago. It is a kind of calendar that is decided by the wax and wane of the moon. These days, as everyone knows, the solar calendar is used almost in the whole world, also in Japan. The solar calendar has a leap year in four years.The lunar calendar has a leap month instead of a leap year.
