TSUKIMI -moon viewing- , a traditional Japanese event

~~💛💚💗~~Hello, this is Tea ceremony & Calligraphy shop Waplus Nara~~💗💚💛~~

In autumn, the moon floating in the clear night sky looks especially beautiful.

Tsukimi is a seasonal festival to enjoy viewing the full moon on the night of August 15th,

on the lunar calendar, which is said to have been introduced from

China during the Heian period and has  become a part of Japanese culture.

It is not just a way to admire the beautiful autumn moon,

but also a harvest festival to pray for a bountiful harvest.

The moon that rises on the fifteenth night of the lunar month

]is also known as the “Harvest Moon,”

and the custom of decorating the store with pampas grass and

offering moon-viewing rice dumplings has continued to this day.

This year has been extremely hot,

but the mornings and evenings are starting to feel a little cooler.

Why not feel the arrival of autumn while admiring the Harvest Moon

on the fifteenth night of the lunar month?

At Tea ceremony & Calligraphy shop Waplus Nara,

 we have decorated our store with moon-viewing decorations

and look forward to welcoming you☆彡
