Paper Ghosts — Seasons & Observances of Akanegumo

The valley stirs from winter; the season ends in the masks and mock-haunting of the Reenactment.

New Year's Festival — Thawingtide 1: debts settled, houses swept, ancestors greeted at the household shrine.
Reenactment Festival — Greengale 30 (spring's last day): the feast, the paper masks, the mock abduction that tricks the real ghosts into thinking the town is already haunted.

The hauntings crest in the first 21 days of Suncrest. Suncrest 1–21: 21 days of the Eight Practices, lit lanterns, and early nights while the Yūreimori's hauntings reach their peak.

Dragon Boat Festival — Brighthearth 5: dragon-prowed boat races and offerings cast to Mizuchi, the ghost season survived.

The harvest is gathered and the light and warmth drain away; the dead are honored at First Long Night as the dark begins to win.

First Long Night — Harvestfall 15 (the autumn equinox): graves cleaned, silver dust scattered to appease the hungry gaki, last rites performed, then hot food, shared fires, and the three contests.

The cold everyone quietly fears, and the storms have only worsened of late.

The Quiet Relighting — Frostwane 1: Akanegumo's remembrance of the Severing; at dusk each household extinguishes and relights its lanterns twice, once for the empire that left, once for the neighbors who stayed.
