Random Fact of The Week 29/9

Finishing out the month we have a fact that looks at the busy October schedule: All autumn kai, with the exception of Onshūkai, do not have fixed dates.  Onshūkai is fixed from October 1st - 6th, but Suimeikai, Kotobukikai, and Mizuekai change around each year. The only restrictions on dates are that they try not to schedule them at the same time as each other (or only have one day of overlap), and that Kamishichiken’s Kotobukikai does not interfere with the Zuiki Matsuri on October 4th.
