季語 Kigo:啓蟄 (Keichitsu Awaken Insect Insect awakening)
季節 Season:春 (Spring) > 中春 (Middle of spring)
意味 Meaning:
Kigo Keichitsu (けいちつ 啓蟄) is one of the 24 solar terms (二十四節気).
Kanji 啓 means "enlighten."
Kanji 蟄 means "tiny life."
Therefore, kanji 啓蟄 literally means "enlightening tiny life" or "calling tiny life to wake up."
啓蟄 comes after 雨水 (rain water) in the 二十四節気 (24 solar terms).
In the worldview of keichitsu, the life force reverses from yin to yang, and life changes from winter sleep to spring awakening.
It is not a sudden or abrupt change, but a slow one, like a bug sneaking out of its hole, checking its surroundings.
