Months

The Sendon Calendar was first formalized in 600 C.D. by Emperor Jimmu, who sought a standardized measurement of the seasons' passage to be shared across his united empire. He aimed to ensure unity and consistency among his subjects. Scholars collaborating to fulfill the Emperor's wishes decided on the following: a year would comprise 1080 days, divided into 15 recognized months, with a nine-day week. This reverence was further reflected in the 15-month calendar, designed to honor the sacred beasts. Each of the five recognized seasons - Samuon, Tsuyuon, Sakuon, Atsuon, and Kawaon - was allocated three dedicated months, ensuring harmony not only among the elements but also among the sacred beasts. This deliberate balance prevented any beast from feeling slighted or superior to the others.
