Thank you for the great idea! Just trying to provide more details here.
When we Chinese people talk about those small seasons, we do have a series of descriptions on the things happening in the Nature, which could be useful for your project.
Each solar term is divided into three pentads [ja] (候 hòu) (ja), so there are 72 pentads in a year. Each pentad consists of five, rarely six, days, and are mostly named after phenological (biological or botanical) phenomena corresponding to the pentad.
I believe you can find the pentads in each solar term page like this for Jingzhe, and there are two versions, for China and Japan each.
They are beautiful idioms describing natural changes, some of which may not even be easily observable in our modern lives. However, I have always been inspired by them to keep a closer look at the Nature around us.
