kigo for late winter


hiashi nobu 日脚伸ぶ (ひあしのぶ) days getting longer
After the winter equinox, one begins to feel a slight lenthening of the daytime light period.
This is a kigo of joy, around the middle and end of January.
It is rather new, since the Meiji period.
With the lunar calendar, this period fell in the time of the old year/new year activities and people had not much time to enjoy this leisurely.
