'Sahanasazuki' is one of the elegant names for the third month of the old lunar calendar.
弥生 is the standard modern and classical term for the third lunar month. 早花咲月 is a rare, poetic alternative with the same meaning.
The name is composed of 早 (early), 花 (flower), 咲 (bloom), and 月 (month), literally 'month of early flower blooming', referring to the third lunar month when spring flowers begin to bloom. The exact historical derivation is uncertain.
