72 Seasons

The leaf insects in the season’s name are caterpillars that are found in the vegetable fields on "daikon", turnip and mustard leaves, the most well-known being the larva of the Cabbage White. Having ravished the fields as a caterpillar, and then spent the winter in its cocoon, the dramatic moment when a beautiful butterfly emerges has been an iconic symbol of spring since years gone by.
