Little-BGSS windows show various Japanese seasons and their transitions, with classical music.
There are many seasons of Japanese nature, such as 24 solar terms and 72 micro-seasons of Japanese traditional calendar (Nijushi-sekki Shichijuni-Ko) based on "flowers, birds, winds, and moon (Kachofugetsu)".
1 BGSS book and 12 BGSSs.

P.S.
The various seasons in Japan are coming and going all year round.
In spring, the cherry-blossom front moves from the southern Pacific side to Hokkaido, taking more than a month.
After the crossing of the cherry-blossom front, the fresh greenery rapidly spreads everywhere.
The seasonal rain front in early summer also moves to the north except for Hokkaido.
It is hot and humid in lush green summer due to the southerly monsoon from the Pacific Ocean.
Typhoons sometimes hit the southern Pacific side and the Nansei Islands in summer and early autumn.
The front of the autumn foliage season reversely moves from the north and the highland.
Winter on the Pacific side is cold, dry and sunny, while it is snowy on the opposite side and in the highland.
The difference in winter's climate is mainly caused by the strong northwesterly monsoon and the mountainous backbone of the islands.
Daily weather patterns usually shift from the west to the east in a day or two due to the westerlies in the higher sky.
Watching nature in Tokyo looks like a fixed-point observation of the consecutive and revolving seasons in Japan.
