This year, September 8 is August 15 in old calendar, and the mid-autumn moon (15 nights).
Last year was September 19, and last year it was September 30, so it arrived a little earlier.
Unfortunately, it was raining in the Tokyo area.
However, the fact that the moon is hidden by clouds etc. on the mid-autumn night is called "no moon", and the rain is called "rain moon", and it is said that he enjoyed the subtle atmosphere ... .
The following day, September 9th, turned around, and the moon viewing day.
A round "moon" shines in the clear autumn sky, beside the window lights of the apartments of Okawabata River City 21.
Since the phases of the moon are not perfect for one month, the mid-autumn moon (15 nights) is not necessarily the full moon, and in fact, September 9 is the full moon this year.
"Otsukimi", which has been handed down to the present day, is thought to have been spread by combining the custom of admiring and loving the ancient moon and the ritual of praying for good harvest and thanks to the harvest season of crops.
"There are many months to see the moon in the moon, but the moon to see the moon is the moon of this month" (without reading)
