Archaic name for the second month of the lunar calendar, equivalent to 如月 (きさらぎ). Used in classical literature and traditional contexts.
See also: 如月
In old calendars, 小草生月, like 如月, refers to the second month.
如月 is the standard classical name for the second lunar month; 小草生月 is a rare alternative with the same meaning.
The exact derivation is uncertain; the kanji 小草生月 literally suggest 'month when small grasses grow', fitting the early spring season of the second lunar month.
