For the first time this year, we are expressing moon viewing お月見

彩時記

How are you, everyone? Did you read the last Yukiko blog? What do you think of this autumn-only pose? It feels a little mature. We expressed "moon viewing" for the first time this year. Japanese culture. "Chushu-no-meigetsu(mid-autumn moon). Otsukimi(moon viewing)" ※Each offering has symbolic meaning. around white dango symbolize the full moon; they are made from rice flour harvested at that time, therefore people offer them to express gratitude for a good harvest. Round shapes are regarded as an auspicious sign. It is believed that people can obtain happiness and health by eating dango. ※Susuki(pampas grass) symbolize "Yorishiro", the object where the moon divine spirit resides. There is a saying that hanging used susuki from eaves prevents illness for a year, because people believe that these susuki can ward off evil spirits. ※The moon resembles a rabbit pounding mochi rice with a hammer, they say. In Japan, there is also a story about a rabbit that lives on the moon. Adorable in the extreme!!!!! "KAWAII" We wish you the autumn(fall) of Japan. Thank you very much. ☆Yukiko☆
