Fittingly, its star words are tear-bright and fidelity. It culminates near midnight. The day's color is Kokeiro (#69821B), a moss green whose word is patience. A loyal, waiting green beneath a patient, watery gleam.
January 9 returns to the Tiger pufferfish, now at its firmest as the cold deepens, when paper-thin sashimi keeps its gentle spring.
