I haven't used the Japanese calendar but I've spent the last year or so keeping up with what the current solar term is in the Chinese calendar[0]. I highly recommend giving it a try some time; if you don't work outside it's easy to forget about the seasons in general let alone the many variations that can occur within them. I've found solar terms hit a nice sweet spot where they're large enough periods to not be overwhelming or hyper local, but still capturing the rhythms of life.
